the sentence that was meant to continue here
                    breaks apart into
                              fragments of
what was supposed to be
                    a coherent statement about
                              the nature of
but instead becomes this
                    scattered arrangement of
                              words that refuse
to complete their intended
                    trajectory across the page
                              leaving gaps where
meaning should have accumulated
                    but doesn't quite

into any recognizable pattern
                    of thought or
                              conclusion that might

                              that drift apart
from their original purpose
                    and scatter across
