The road is never ending rectangle
Each of us roll out its own path

the saber sliced cake
the cool perfectly straight clip
into rectangle
military style of cut
pride flies from female airman

The morning sun falls
Noises awake, passing crowds
once quiet again

Stand on the cold feet
Dew still not fade by the lights
Sipping my hot tea

Rectangle door closed
The framework offers the view
My sight clustered straight

Enjoyed the greenish
While the sun turns into gloom
It's ready to rain...

Is it oval where
your aspirations and hopes scale
unscaleable walls,
seeking to meet in the middle?

Maybe--

a rectangle would
be optimal? Shorter
walls to climb, but if
successful, the realization
would appear to be
longer lasting, as the top and bottom of
the rectangle is much longer.

Maybe?...

Window- By Kylah Council
Windows bring light
Show you beyond,
What is bright

Windows-
Show you
A beautiful scene
And everything
That is green

Windows-
Are more than a rectangle
The can show you-
A rain forest
A jungle
Anything
In your imagination!

Windows-
Can show a beautiful
Paridise
Or 
Can show 
Todays life :/...

Never wanted to get to the point
Reasons are not deeds
In my rectangle window show
Amazing how after all the years looking through my eye balls
Why dont we see like circles
That rectangle prison that imprisons us all
Look left look right 
look up look down
and see the edges of our prisons
Fortunately im looking from the outside...

I watch you from afar
Read the words that flow from your brain

It's hard to watch a flame burn
Not being able to get too close
Not being able to reach out
I'm behind this glass on a small box in my hand... well  more of a flat rectangle. 

Life is strange 
You are somebody I used to know
But don't know anymore
And you don't know me
I don't know me...

I feel you
from miles away
the pain and the smiles
without a word to say

Not just the big things
but the smallest of small
if something happens to you
I feel it all.

We don’t move as one
influenced by the other
a northern light maybe
with no sense of smother

We live in our space
a sphere or rectangle
but certainly we sense
we are entangled....

Technology holds us hostage
Putting us into rectangles
Our I-phones are our newest bosses
Deciding when, where and how we go

Technology directs our actions
Directs us hour by hour
Choosing our moods
Based on where he wants us to be

We read his texts, allowing him to choose our mood
Our feelings, our joys, out hurts, our passions
We are helpless baby mice
Led by our rectangle Pied Pipers....

Pythagoras was a mathematician.
He taught mathematics in ancient Greece.
He created a now-famous theorem.
You can bisect a rectangle or square.
Draw a line between opposite corners.
This will result in two right triangles.
The two sides opposite each right angle
are commonly called a “hypotenuse“.
The sum of the squares of the base and height,
equal the square of the hypotenuse.

As I kneel down to this great monolith a black rectangle tablet has droned in through boundless space. My eyes rose with tears precipitating. A blinking of coup d'œil of a great being calling as an adherent red glowing goo comes trickling down my chin and neck from the bottom of my lip. For I see the birth of an old universe beyond invisible walls. and  god calling was an earless wolf serpent with many quills and arms....

You are beautiful when the facsimile is complete,
flowers resplendent,
and the focus of eyes hungry for lost decorum,
the patterned tables, chairs,
wrought iron ornaments, mark
a harmony with the weaving weeds in the terrace,
and so too the planted trellis,

but now, in early spring,
while your neat rectangle of water remains drained,
I can't help but notice the sad fountain- 
a sputtering pipe,
exposed bone,
and the garden falls apart....

.                               
                                Captain Black sailed his ship to Bermuda
                                And vanished one day.  Well.. he shoulda'...
                                Sailed a rectangle
                                Instead of triangles
                                Now he's lunch for a starved barracuda!

The clock of my mind stopped in 1897.
it is always late autumn
and we dress mostly in grey
steam locomotive whistles
daily puncture our thought balloons
my teacher once said:
Boy, consider the rectangle,
source of all progress.
forty days and forty nights
forty shekels and forty cubits
and thirty pieces of silver
the number of mosquitoes
skating on the rain barrel
a marching panorama
of numbered cards
sometimes, a Joker!
a fire or a drunken brawl...

Dust settles 

Vibrations loosen
the dust on my piano,
releasing tiny particles
into a rectangle sunbeam
dancing about the glass,
as I play compositions
on freeform keys,
fingered imagination
frantically moving
levers in never before
heard melodies
with a locked
sustain pedal
holding each note
to gradually evanesce
into the silence
awaiting your return
as the dust
once again
settles

Seems there is something in the wall,
 the concrete square of four by four
 the wired rectangle two by four
 an elongated stiffened stretched out long and tall;
surely somewhere there lies a door
 letting someone in and another out
 the come and go without question or doubt
 the family, friend or foe, lover or ex
 speaking not a word, not even text;
it's a vision maybe a threat
 of who we are and what we forget
 to take open doors and put on locks
 severing the global knock....

Close your eyes no wait you can't read that way open them
There's something near your hand now guess what it is
It is right there in front of you
 Pick it up touch it bounce it in your hand

Feel the texture right now your thinking it's a ball
Wrong guess again 
Feel the weight feel the shape no it is not a rectangle
Guess again you can feel it you know it's there 
 You feel the weight you feel it shake
Give Up?

 It's your world and it's right there in the palm of your hand...

SUNDAY 


 a lifting morning haze
 a lay in laze 
 a murmured rustle of
 times and guardians,
 voices, tea pot lids 
 and neighbours kids 
 arise 
 and set the drapes 
 aside 
 let the sunshine in 
 a rectangle of green 
 a frame of English flowers 
 lovingly proclaim, a 
 English Sunday morn 
 " ted is up " Lynne says 
 "a flirt with tenant "
  nubile young ,a
  blond high strung 
 does he impress 
 I take my coffee
 garden bound to
 see my older brother 
 and finesse...
