a way of joining countries

because there isn't space in the drawing, this is about telephone wires. in Africa (but it might have changed) telephone wires are on top of the ground on poles and the birds rest on the telephone wires which look like liquorice and they dont get electric shocks, also people can steal the wire to make sculptures, but probably they have special tools and gloves for grounding them against electric surges which can cause death. In England , I think the wires are under the ground, so no one really knows what the pattern is and its unlikely someone would dig up the road to steal the telephone wires to make sculptures to sell. so its not something we really think about much, we just pay our line rental, even though that is a generalisation.
