The Wall
THE WALL
the wall...the wall
let’s invite them all
the library tech i am
says build it with books
spanish on one side...english on t’other
if it’s burned down
we’ll build it again
suddenly people pause
to read a classic
or a favorite
someone from the other side
hands them a beverage
as each relaxes in a flexible chair
and neverwhere opens doors
in the blazing sunlight
for our Northern-Southern friends

*NEVERWHERE is a book by Neil Gaiman. I’ve never read it but it seems to top a list about doors so I used it in my own way.
*Not a political commentary. Just a fun write about being friends.
