In a Linear World

In a linear world,
things are straightforward.
Lines add up.
Everyone’s angles make sense.

In a linear world,
everyone’s motives merge
seamlessly.
What you see is what you get.

In a linear world,
you can see your destination
clearly—it’s right in front of you.
All you have to do is keep going.

In a linear world,
where all the pieces
line up,
I am a circle.
