Whose line is it anyway?

In the line of control

lies the line of power.

We cross the line

we toss the line

we play the line

we tow the line

we bend the line

we break the line

to suit our needs.

We have all been given lines.

Do what you will with yours,

in line with what you need.

Grab a line! Get a line! Get in line!

There is no God

only the Ruler of Lines.

He speaks: " Give me your lines,

                   and I'll tend to them for you."

I walked the thin line

to be with you, and aligned with you

your straight line went through me.

The entanglement of you was ....

you were out of control,

you forgot your lines,

you didn't join our dots.

I cannot hold 

your line anymore.

I must go to the end

of the line.

Goodbye our lines! Goodbye our dots!

In the line of duty

your lines are tied.

Don't try to move

with the times

for time will remove you

during time's lines.

So watch your line

I could be drawn

to you next time.

But for now.

Bye bye!

I'm on another line,

and your line has a fish.

I’m honoured to have two Pats review my silly nonsense, yes it’s all about the lines Pat!

I loved all the lines!!! And what a fun but serious poem and one where you are not committing to one or the other line except to say that there is one which is probably a safe short line. And why do we have to be in a line? We could be circles

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much Pat , will return the love soon.😀
