Them Lines

steel-blued rails
or tarred lane miles
cables or fables
we're layin' the lines

vapored sky lines
Internet bylines
those bar scene
come on lines

we're all layin' lines
making trails
refinin' our designs
plantin' our mines

layin' down our lines
innocence seen benign
overhead or underground
pushing straight to realign

down the lines
some lines are down
sparks on the ground
hot wired intertwines

line ahead a minus sign
heard before that ol' line
just useless goin' on
tossin' towel in to resign

bifurcate to recombine
futures seen to redefine
no  talkin' on a party line
lines are down on cloud nine
