Do parallel lines actually meet,
Or forever just run side by side?
Can loneliness act like gravity,
And honestly pull two souls inside?

Are perpendicular lines doomed to crash,
Or hold conversations with open ends?
Do intersections form when two lines cross,
Or possibilities to make amends?

Do four angles meet to define our space,
Or imprison our soul inside a shape?
Will we crack open lies and break down walls,
Or sheepishly try to fake our escape?

Did right angles join to form a cross,
And death somehow bring unity?
Does geometry rule outside its realm,
And present opportunity?

Wow, this is my favourite poem of yours I've read so far by quite a ways. The metaphors, imagery, and heartfelt questioning all combine in such a potent way.

It's funny, just a few days ago I wrote a poem on almost the same theme, using these geometrical terms to describe a relationship. Unfortunately I wasn't very happy with the result, and sent it to my graveyard folder, but it's so great to see you do it justice!

Interesting approach made with powerful writing. Good job, friend @firststeps. I congratulate your poetic art.
