A thought is a thread

A thought is a thread. With a beginning and an end.
A single curving blue thread
But it never exists alone. It's tangled with others.
A blue thread knotted together with a green one
Each leads to many. Each can be reached from many. It's a never-ending chain.
Many threads of different colours linked into a chain
Together they form a fabric.
Threads woven together into a fabric
Maybe a shirt.
The woven fabric taking the shape of a shirt
To finish a piece of writing, I have to isolate one clump of connected thoughts.

Like ripping a pocket out of that shirt.

Threads hanging loose. Looking ugly.
A pocket torn from the shirt, its threads hanging loose
