tension

stretched
taut
me on one end
one step either direction one step

should i like this tension?
it keeps me sharp

hedged
angry
guardians of propriety
fit this space fit this space fit this space fit

so i like to dance?

it keeps me sane

devided

dichotomized

be this be that

cookie cutter Christian cookie cutter

should i say this?

should i feel this?

pray for this?

carry this?

bow to this?

turn my cheek to this?
