Lines
 
I.
 
We play with the same lines. These
that were tossed into the world
like Pick Up Stix, 
stacking nets and racks
for the earth to impose its details.  
The world was meant to be seen in lines.
I have heard its challenge
and I accept.
 
II.
 
I am DNA in the cell of my car.
I drive on the freeway that has been waiting
for me. It's an isosceles triangle 
that spreads its legs, as I pass through 
the middle towards the apex.
 
III.
 
I sit in the reception area of the doctor’s office. 
There are lines here and I am happy. 
The lines of my chair ground me
to the outline of the room.
When receptionist calls my name,
I find the closest edge of the closest baseboard,
and follow its line along two walls 
and up the door frame to meet her eyes.
 
IV.
 
I wait in line at the pharmacy. It is straight
as it should be.  It connects me
like the dot of an ‘i’,
or a grass stain,
or a condom.
 
TAMMY is behind the counter,
all smiles and lip gloss.
Her customer service tag wears her body.
I can address her, as I connect
with her line angle name.
 
V.
 
The lines in my hallway 
are straight, like a plank. I walk 
its length.  At the end, toy trains
are parked on the bedroom floor in rows.
I know the game. 
I see the lines. 
I pick up the sticks.
 
 
 
 

Wow... absolutely wow.
A lovely walk with you... thanks.

VI.

always a wonderful surprise from you
outside the lines

Within the lines we stay controlled,
outside these lines we step,
Making all that truly defines.

Your lines cross our lines here,
Making us wonder,what YOU see there?
