Something splendid about the way
it holds things together
with elasticity and torsion,
Such simple invention --
a steel wire bent on itself.
Less violent than a staple,
less permanent than glue.
But effective and elegant,
it does what I've so often
wished to do -- it unites.
It gently connects what is separate.
It doesn't leave a scar.
It maintains order and humbly
keeps the messy world composed.
And then, and here is where I fail,
it easily lets things go.
