Of course you do:
it's a NEW PROJECT
alive with the thrill
of beginning.
(but not much).
After all,
you've worked with these materials before--
(on a much smaller scale).
You know what's what--
(mostly).
For sure they are
wonderful materials:
interesting, elemental,
and related to everything
you've been talking about
for months and months.
though you're not positive you love
working with two strands.
-tap, tap, tap--
The warp-weft relationship
could be a little... different.
-tap, tap, tap--
You'll get used to it.
-tap, tap, tap--
Who is ever sure of anything?
-tap, tap, tap--
This work could be
relevant,
and important.
-tap, tap, tap--
Besides,
it looks wonderful.
-tap, tap, tap--
that two strands
of white mill spun linen
is less pleasant
than the hand spun.
-tap, tap, tap--
And the half-assed attempt
to repeat the tape thing
you've done before?
-tap, tap, tap--
And oh,
there is a lot
of empty warp
up ahead.
-tap, tap, tap--
Now HUSH.
--tap--
You made a decision.
-tap--
It'll be SO COOL.
-tap--
It'll BE FINE.
-tap--
Did you hear that?
Oh no
.
It'll be fine
is the kiss of death.
Does that mean you have to rip it out?
Nah.
-tap, tap, tap--
Really,
who wants to decide what to do
all over again?
It WILL be fine.
-tap, tap, tap--
You go away for a week.
Come home.
Weave a little more.
Sure is nice sitting at a loom.
If only...
Never mind that.
Go for a run.
Take off your shoes.
Wade through some muddy puddles.
Oh my, does this feel good.
Oh.
Right.
But I've woven so much.
And I LOVE how it looks.
And the waste.
And....
