This Is Flat

This Is Flat

Description


I'm topographically bound, I don't leave the ground,
I'm a line you can find just lying around.
I can take a turn or curve, but I can't cross my path
And I hail from a land that's known for being flat.
Met A. Square once, he had something to show me,
Tried to lift me up so that he could roll me.
I split pretty quick, I like my dimension
I prefer the plane. Besides, did I mention?
I'm under everything important, call me an underwriter,
And if you got a sled I'll call you a line rider.
Don't decide to divide me, that's downright ridiculous
I prefer to keep my state wholly contiguous
Ambiguous I'm not, I'm quite clear about
how one side is in and the other side is out.
I define the field, I show where the color goes
and I can catch some fish when the river flows.
Don't call me Ray, this ends with a point,
the way I live doesn't disappoint.
Thoughts between dots, this is my praxis
no need for knots, I'll stick to my axis.
