Tangents

Tangents

Where do they start?

Where do they end?

World War Two was-

That’s a tangent

Branching from the 

A story of Vietnam-

The main story

Seems to lead to 

Nowhere

But everywhere

Sometimes they lead to where you want them to go

But that’s not how it always works

It’s nice to hear a new story 

But when it leads to twenty others,

That’s when things get

Difficult

To understand 

Stray words 

Intertwine 

Making a neat web

But in the end, it does

Tangents

Could make a good story great.
