Square Society

Faye Simpson

In the land of square people,

They live ridged lives,

With right angled rooms made to fit their intended occupants only,

And the ridged rules silently spoken by every straight line,

Bent and broken are often indistinguishable,

For the square mind,

In this curveless space,

Everybody fits into their place.

Or so it’d seem,

Between the boundaries of 2D,

Live creatures like me.

Natural plasticity has allowed me to form a false face,

A more angular appealing shape,

So, I can be a member of this…
