WALLS

He wanted walls

and the wind stirred

the soil and the dust flew

over the border - laughing.

He wanted walls

and the water became

mist and became rain and the

Pacific laughed becoming the Atlantic.

He wanted walls

and the crowds laughed

and told him his mother and

his wife were from the other side.
