SIMPLE WITH COMPASS
Consider the circle.
It is a miracle
of completion,
end and beginning one.
Reduced to a point or
expanded to a sphere,
its ratio
is unchanged by ego.
Compare it to the line,
that matter of fact sign
of direction
started but never done.
Whichever way it moves,
how far or long, it proves
distance can go
only so high or low.
I think we should rejoice
there is no other choice
than straight or round—
makes life easy, I've found.
