Knots by Timothy Arliss OBrien

I am tying myself into knots. I undo them and redo them.

I am myself knots. I undo and redo.

I am knots. I undo them.

I knot myself. Undo and redo.

I am tying knots into myself.

I redo and undo and undo and redo.

I am myself, tying myself into knots.

I am knoting myself, into and undo.

I am knots and I redo myself.

Tying myself into myself: I am knots.

I am tying myself into knots.
