They hand me a ruler
and tell me to stop messing around
they give me a pen
and wait impatiently for me
to draw the lines
they expect to see
but I cannot create those boundaries
with ink that stains so permanently
for I would always long to know
what existed
on the other side of those lines
the ones drawn perfectly to scale
and tell me to stop messing around
they give me a pen
and wait impatiently for me
to draw the lines
they expect to see
but I cannot create those boundaries
with ink that stains so permanently
for I would always long to know
what existed
on the other side of those lines
the ones drawn perfectly to scale
