Let This Be Understood

We stand apart
We draw the lines
You are there
& I am here
We make an agreement
To maintain the differences
Between us
We understand to know nothing
About us
And there will no insistence
I draw a circle
When I get in you must be out
When I go out you must get in
We always exclude one another
That is the agreement

Or this house burns
On a short circuit

Or another one dies
shocked
on electric
execution

On parallel distances
All is safe, nothing burns.
