                                   WALLS

I’m just marking time,

And can’t explain why

When the door opens

I kick it shut.

A wall was built some time ago,

The seams mossed over

So nothing can penetrate,

The wall’s purpose, lost with the key,

Yet the prisoner finds the wall insecure,

Builds walls within walls,

Breaks into himself only the find emptiness,

And the final realization comes too late,

The walls protect nothing,

And nothing was saved.
