Lines
The drawing of a line
Changes things
I applied eyeliner
The blue of my eyes showed
My outlook changed from within
You draw a line
Say 'no more'
And things can change
It's a boundary
Marking out the safe space
Setting out what's yours
A line drawn
You decide a troubling thought
Has had its time
A hard line
Strict and unwavering
Unreceptive to challenge
A fine line
Achieving balance
Recognition of perception and shift
Crossing the line
Unacceptable behaviour
Determined by unwritten rules
Tow the line
Behave as you should
Determined by another
Read between the lines
See what's hidden
Absorb the mood rather than the words
This maybe isn't a poem but there's something within the concept of a line
An expression so common
Of a idea so easy
I don't like hard lines
Unchangeable and unchallengeable
But there are lines I can draw
And positions I can take
Simply and immediately
So I wanted to meander around that idea
Hmm now I'm lost in the idea of the queue (line)
This is my thought
I'm meandering anyway...
Linear paths - another idea that bothers me
I think I got the concept from time
That you can't go back because it's linear
Anyway - Google tells me you can reverse a linear path (not time)
I'll forgive linear and take a haphazard stroll with it
It requires a bit of energy to draw a line
I'm well practised at toeing the line
Though this isn't a poem
And I'm going to post it anyway
