THE LINE

The line
drawn for the first time
in our history
must have been straight.

 

When we try to draw
something with a pen
or by the middle finger, first
we all draw a straight line.

 

It is always very short.
And it looks like a soft strike. Now

 

the world appears to be calm around me.
I see a parking area
full of spaces,

 

leaning against a coin-operated locker full of spaces.
The shape of these spaces seems square or cubic.
And
the universe seems round and closed. But

 

anyway
we all draw a short straight line first.
