Broken Emails

The string split;

what is it?
What is it that split it?
Down one path we speak,
the other, we scream.

Semantics split the string,
sent us our separate ways,
created a space filled with
doubt and paranoia and
in this case we blazed
away from the point.

Its a comment someone threw up,
a fear in the way. A
barrier to re-entry into the string again
is how the split began.

We talked our way back into reason
but the string had already split and
most who would not read on toward words more sane,
let the string split yet again.

It was a weak string to begin with
and the title of it did not help,
It split like wood!
And splintered those who felt
that they could tell
what the issue was.

And just when the words were coming together,
forming one thought, coherent and better,
out of the blue came a new kind of pain
and the now fractured strings turned to rain.

Words and names and blame and fame
all coming down, again and again,
and as a result today my bane,
the split strings, have turned me insane.
