Cheap dental floss
—not the desired brand—
Frays
Leaves strands
trapped
Frustrated before sunrise
I fling the new container aside—
thumping it into the trash
announcing my irritation
Temper flames my words,
“We had an entire conversation about this!”
Feeling trivialized and minimized
I cut to make him smaller
And I braid those fine wax fibers
into Porter’s rope
Giving it weight—
Importance
Until
my snarling reflection
snaps me to The Big Picture
It is—
after all—
Only dental floss
—not the desired brand—
