November 4: The Map

 The map has lines and no people on

and the question isn't: where have the people gone?

Or: why don't the lines, in real life

actually exist? Because if you look down 

from a plane...

you see no borders, unless you are insane.

Although sometimes there are walls.

Fences. Fortified defenses.

Maps are not like holy

scripture and the lines themselves

can change--after, for example,

wars.

Or maybe they are just like scriptures,

after all.

Sometimes ancient lines persist,

and sometimes, they must fall.

The question is: what is your map

and can you keep the people on

your mind,

when all the lines have gone?
