Middle

Things would be fun
If we could just stitch
The start to the end
Or make them switch.

Leave middles behind
Such muddle! Such mess! –
Full of tangles and snarls,
And a whole lot of stress.

Take me back to the start
Of all that I was
Of all I could be
Then, just hit “Pause.”

Endings attract me.
Beginnings, too.
It’s just the fat middle
I have to get through.
