Where is the line whose crossing
     sends a jolt through your system,
     making you jelly-kneed & breathless?

Where is the line?

Do you know you're stepping over
     before the shock zips through you?

Is anticipation of the shock
     worse than the shock?

Who built this fence?

Who picked the notch to which
      the severity of the shock 
      would be dialed?

Was it you?
