I am a thread too slender To suspend all this reality...

The speaker imagines the self as a single, fragile filament asked to bear the weight of “all this reality.” The metaphor suggests the strain of consciousness: the desire (or social expectation) to make experience coherent, to hold together grief, obligation, memory, and meaning—yet feeling structurally unequal to the task. “Thread” also evokes sewing and repair, implying a wish to stitch the world into order, while “too slender” admits human limitation and vulnerability. The line can be read as a quiet refusal of omnipotence: reality is too heavy and too various to be suspended by one mind, so humility, shared bearing, or acceptance of incompleteness becomes the implied resolution.
