Numb. 1112 Lines Must Be [With]Drawn

WHAT IS THE POINT of having borders?

What do lines on a maps mean?

Okay, they may mark mountains and waters,

but, if they don't, they cannot be seen

as anything other than arbitrary —

something to note in obituaries:

“a lifelong resident of this or that place,

a credit/demerit to this or that ‘race’”.

(Another mistaken classification —

imagining an ephemeral “nation”.)

Yes, there ARE differences which are really real,

but things like these are not a big deal.
