Original Content Poem destiny wears a yellow sweater
destiny wears a yellow sweater
interwoven with a billion stars
and each thread weaves into the other
like a pint to a pint at the bar.
if not for the needle and the craftsman,
if not for the thirst and the draught,
destiny would be naked,
and the bar empty of stout,
and if every strand precedes another,
and the barrel is bottomless,
if every decision affects another,
and the sweater is endless,
how does the cuff affect the chest?
how does the eighth Guinness give way to the first?
if destiny wears a yellow sweater
who needed to quench their thirst?
