Vertically Detained (Poem)

Vertically Detained

Be upright, dear
They said quite clear
As quiver’s arrow
Straight and narrow

With submission
Find your mission
For here and now
You must avow

Stay in the lines
And watch for signs
We must assert
Do not pervert

To see things level
Is of the devil
------------------
Latitude gained
Now unrestrained
To see things wide
Equator’s guide

From east to west
These things are best
Lying down low
The lines to toe

Stepping across
Wreaking chaos
Of this I know
This way I go

To see things level
In this I revel!
