More in 6 degrees of separation
6 degrees of separation
| << Previous | Next >> |
Guess I'm being too obscure! The first stanza refers to the experience of encountering a surprising abundance of interconnections (the old 6 degrees of separation idea) even in the context of a very large community. For one who rarely stays in one place for long (the gypsy) it is difficult to know whether this is the norm, or a freakish set of coincidences.
I didn't want to stick with a single metaphor, but perhaps if I use "big city grid" in the first stanza, the similar images of grid, web, and matix would tie together? Thanks for reading carefully and for commenting!
