How would I draw
my mental line?
the contradiction
of the 'is' and 'isn't'
the accepted
and rejected?
the perennial issues
that would always be mine-
life's variegated events
are in an endless flux
what I've drawn for now
circumstances would later
upset and destabilise anyhow-

as everything does change
certitude is never to be found
I'll draw my mental line gently
recognising its temporality
and at all times be ready
to alter, erase, reshape
such that I won't slip
from my self-crafted ground.
