converging lines

all around me
is an inky
darkness

so i blink once

and there i see
2 straight lines
one purple
strong, wild,
fierce
and the other
green
vibrant
and proud.

i watch them race
forward,
each in a perfectly straight line
and i blink again

the purple one turns
in the direction
of the
and the green one turns
in the direction of the
purple

and it is clear
that soon they will meet
i blink once more

& now they are touching
determined to go
in the direction they want
pushing against each other
green vs.
purple.
purple vs
green

equal in strength
& i blink
for a last time
to see that the once
beautiful
strong
lines, stubbornly
have converged
and mixed
leaving only one
ugly
pathetic line

and so i close my eyes.
feeling no pity
for those stubborn lines

This is a kindof weird poem...but i havent posted in a while so.....
yup.
