CONVERGING PARALLELS

When Euclid died he

Became a line running

To infinity which

Sounds good but is really 

Pretty boring. He began

Making stops and hauling

Passengers and freight.

A line running 

To infinity will never 

Get there so it doesn't matter 

How fast it goes or

In what direction or if

It moves at all. Some lines 

Think it best to stand still

Because -- who knows? -- 

Infinity may be 

Looking for them. 

At some undefined point

Euclid was joined by the other

Euclid, of Megara, who

Believed truth would be found 

By exposing untruths.

Euclid of Megara never 

Walked in a straight line.

The books he wrote are lost

It is remembered that he

Would sneak into Athens 

Dressed as a woman.
