Hemmed In

I’m still in Cascais Waiting to go home to my house in Algarve 30 years since the Berlin wall came down with the help Of Russia let us not forget this. In the meantime, many more walls have been built Mainly in Israel, a program on the TV didn’t mention this We don’t like to say anything upsetting. The wall between me and my house is called old age When it comes down no one wants to cross it. The Chinese wall is a tourist attraction, no China Is building a silk- road instead of covering the whole world. There are many unseen walls between people, classes Poor or rich, and between you and me. The hope is that abstract walls will come down The rest is steel and concrete suitable for building houses
