Playing Straight on Dangerous Curves

Balanced in isolation,

Lines are everything:

Symmetry of the ceiling

grate. Vertical wall bars

defining the right angles

of where sides meet surface

towards that horizon line.

Even the stool depends on

lines—the four diagonals

supported by crossbars.


Geometry rules such constructs.


But you, you are all about curves:

Cascading leg down to knee. Rigid

shins are only so because of

soft calves, the arch of foot

or heel. Bends of ankle-strap

stilettos, wrinkles and twists

of dangling leather trench coat.

Thigh-highs topped with four

Prominent black lines, wrapped

around rounded elegant thighs.
