Spinning Yarns

He spins yarns in nadirs into glowing spheres
Like bright star guides spinning white
See the blown-up man
He’s the dervish of a whirl
Circling, passing tense
A wrinkled stitch in time
Shines light through my hallowed soul
So bright… FALL OUT
Two steps forward, three steps backwards
Two steps forward, three steps backwards
Tired of playing the game
Making your head spin, caught in a tail-spin
Place your bets on the line
Take on whose scoring and fans who adore them
Another Hollywood square moving to Texas, tinsel-town rejects
Settling for the third tier heading for golden age
Then beyond golden age…
(oompa-loompa interlude)
It’s not fair we can’t clear this stratosphere
From fourth tier, to fifth tier, through circled squares
Hear the choirgirl pulling out the spin
Truth and consequence: spinning needles shine
Pricked the spindle so beauty sleeps
Spell-break-- All awake!
Two steps forward, three steps backwards
Two steps forward, three steps backwards
Spinning yarns, spooling threads… Spheres of our influence
