Guardians of the Bricks

we are known in the neighborhood
as guardians of the bricks
we take our position seriously

deciding who enters
and who leaves
or if they do

we are all the things you think we are
magical, mystical,
ethereal, protective,
staunch and opinionated

if you treat us well, we will let you treat us again
if you do not, the wrath of the cat queen will be along shortly.
