TO A CURVE
Sometimes a curve is all we need
to make our hearts and minds succeed
straight lines the march of time
illusions of supremacy
the ambitious cocky stiff salute
to distance conquered
progress gained
but the curve was never made for war
the rifle bent is a head
hung low in slow repent.
Sometimes a curve is all we seek
when hands in sweet caress combine
curved lines that bring us hope,
a crescent moon that shuts our eyes
to squared off meanings
that reduce us to fates and tears
with a logic of stone
straight answers to the dance of years.

Bless you David - I sort of stumbled on the idea basically, masculine drives and conceptions are in straight lines and feminine ones in curves, hence the difficulty in interpretations often between the sexes. I certainly think a dose of feminine appreciation would take the sting out of society; I think you know I don't take the usual route myself !
Suki likewise - hope can be a practical result of waiting for what the curve brings instead of projecting our ends down the straight. If you are a biker you will enjoy bends and leaning into curves - why not roll it out!
