An excerpt: The yarn begins in a ball. The yarn is kept in a ball because otherwise it is unruly all stretched out like yarn can be, all over the place crazy and difficult to manage. How useful is that? It is more useful as a ball because-oh, look at that, how it unrolls and moves and bounces, we swat and it unravels the ball-there it goes! Down the stairs! Chase and pounce!

We make chase and swat the ever-unwinding madness of the ball and it unravels as it travels and catches in our paws and we swat and wrap around us and we swat again and chase the ball down the stairs and around and through the shoes, into the livingroom and through the chair legs until it is no longer in a ball, at which time it becomes unruly again. Just yarn. Yarn yarn yarn. A wild display of color on the carpet. Art, perhaps, if we value art, which we don't. A hazard to the passing cat now. This art is hazard. So we retreat-zap!-to the dining room, to the hallway, to the bathroom, to see if the end of the toilet paper roll is within reach.
