Chains

so...
what's it going to be
first or last link...or maybe...
somewhere in the middle

to...
eradicate responsibility
for so much....buried in time...
from start to finish

that...
life's fabric is as
already woven....washed and ironed...
and socially acceptable

so...
everything seems evened
outside and/or in.....life's...
peaks and valleys

to...
hide pitfalls of self and others
linked to one's own chain...of...
lifetime moments 

that...
were filled with error
and connections...echoing...
still through life's fabric walls
