Behind the lines
Lines. They are everywhere. If you step over them you get shouted at. But if you've lived behind them the stress is sometimes overwhelming.
Lines are everywhere today. It hasn't always been thus. We were supposed to know our place. Toe the line. This far and no further. Hard lines of you got it wrong. Write a 100 lines, i will hold the line. The thin red line. The medic puts in a line. The triage nurse puts you at the end of the line. The orderly sees your name in the lined ledger and goes over it with a line. No more lines.
