Incompleteness

A series of fractions will sum it up the easiest.
Question marks, half-measures
and the odd, half-bright spark.

A systematic sequence of etcs and et als;
one ellipsis after another,
everything in an untiring loop.

Like a mathematical derivation gone awry midway
and refusing to make sense
in spite of covert adjustments.

Or an essay that winds its tedious way around the point,
or along it, or beyond, or close
without ever really getting to it.

One picks up the threads easily enough, doesn't one?
But before they can be woven in
they usually tend to run out.

either That or, they knot themselves, that it might be easier to start afresh instead of trying to make sense of it all !

Do you know, that hadn't occurred to me...neither when the thought came, nor when I wrote about it. Honestly. And now I'm glad I wrote about it, because then your comment came along - and I suddenly have this new perspective. It helps a whole lot. :) Thank you!

so are you starting afresh or letting the knots get to you ? ;)

So far, they got to me whether I liked it or not. But I'm starting afresh now. It makes so much more sense...trust me to take so much time to see that, though. :)

Ya helps sometimes when you have inter-stellar communication going on :D
