thoughts i had in the shower/difficulties being a straight edge

if parallel lines come closer sideways, will they ever meet?
if they meet, does that mean they are touching, having a tendency to be infinitely near,

yet still kept apart by rules, by laws, by a sliver of space

or do they become a new line together?
and if they are just one line now from two, which line had to disappear?

which line had to fall off the plane?
is one over the other, hidden from view? then who gets to be on top?
(i eliminated this thought because lines on two-dimensional planes cannot be above or below...

they just say hello)
perhaps, most likely of all, they just stop being parallel lines altogether
because we all know parallel lines never meet

in two-dimensional worlds,

i don't want us to be parallel lines.
