Polar Bearings (Free verse) by impert&ent

If you drew a line right round this earth It would pass between us Like a crack in the shell of a great brown egg A few more rotations and your chicks will leave home Making fragments of your world Drawing new creases around your brow We follow those lines with every day of our lives Living along and in between Not sure if ends meet or paths cross But believing in the line is easier than taking a dive From this bit of shell And swimming free

Thanks for the kudos... but the two objects could both be on one side of a line, like Belfast and Buenos Aires are both on the west side of the Greenwich meridian.

It gets trickier with regard to things that are on both sides of a line, like London. Or a marriage.
