The many lines we might see in one day.
Lines, Lines, Everywhere Lines

driving down the road
leaving her abode
careful to stay right of the yellow line
drove until a street light stop
must be careful, there's a cop
stay well behind the walkway line
rode by a commotion in the street
police cars, ambulance, victim at their feet
on-lookers must stay behind yellow tape line
victim appeared to be dead
sheet pulled way up over his head
sniffed too many cocaine lines
continued to her destination
reviewed paperwork with fascination
then signed on the dotted line
her paperwork was complete
children had been home and discreet
everyone had toed the line
now free to go fishing
maybe find someone for kissing
but first, let's cast a line
drive home past familiar places
and decorated spaces
with electric and telephone power lines
stopped into a church to pray
comforting way to end her day
to receive communion, will wait in yet another line

Author Notes
A thank you for the use of picture, 'The Tower' by gloryg. This could have been much longer because the more I thought of 'lines', the more ways and places you can find them. I decided 27 lines stopped just short of boring!
