THE BOUNDARY

THE BOUNDARY


There are many boundaries between this and that


Someone can think weird thoughts


Plot bizarre plots, say disturbing things


Have flights of fancy that are so high they could orbit


The real world indefinitely


But if they stay within the fences and hedges of the law


Their inner life, no matter how peculiar, is not actionable


Prisons are not filled with people who only thought about mayhem


The prisons are filled with people who put their thoughts into actions


A clear line is drawn between violent ideation and violent actions


The iron bars between being eccentric and being so dangerous


They must be contained.
