Zig Zag















Life does seem to zig and zag in the new year.
Up down, in out, across and back,
one's heart beat... lines on an EKG,
the fault lines recorded on a geological seismograph,
good and bad news found in the mailbox in not always
equal measure.

Honoring this 2111 trajectory see the Zig Zag scarf.
