Lines aren't fun for everyone

I dislike the new highway
With its incessant tolls
Straight stretches of long lengths
peppered stops and regular roads

As a child i loved 'join the dots'
Spots became images with pencil and time
How awful if those interesting pictures,
were exchanged for a boring line.

Life Shouldn't be so linear,
like the new highway road
oh! to curve and swerve and wind
curious, till our souls explode.

Because even in hospitals,
with IVs, UVs and formaldehyde
When ECGs go from spiky to straight,
Its then you know spirits have died.
