To Draw A Straight Line
To draw a straight line
when the skin yields like love
Beneath the glyph's caress -
To entice tatoo astray:
Is improbable artistry.
The flesh coronates itself Art.
To indraw the curved line
When the flesh balks ire
Foursquare the nerves deploy -
To resist the arc's trespass:
Is illogical progression.
The flesh knows its own design.
To bedraw a line to glory
When the skin reads to Hell
Corrupt the quilt of deceit
To confound the oracle:
Is indubitable folly.
The flesh insists to be the Fool.
