Lines and Shapes
Two parellel lines began
somehow
and traveled together
for quite some distance
until one veered off
from the other.
And this was really a sad thing
since they were supposed
to have gone on into infinity.
What kind of geometry
did the line have in mind?
Perhaps
it dreamed of shapes
filling space excitingly.
Or perhaps
it learned of some
beautiful trigonometry...
I think maybe
it just longed
for a change of perspective.
