Off base, or at least balance

I thought narrowing my scope would be like punctuation
like precise, like always a good answer.

It’s not and I’ve lost my balance too,

all the good beams we used to walk on

and bridges we used to climb up.

I bought fabric softener, but it clumped up the paint,
so I hung the tapestry on my wall anyway.
