recognizing that

recognizing that
we will never live up to
our expectations

of ourselves is the first step
to seeing beyond the fence

here is another

here is another
occasion to build a gated
community – we

stand on tiptoes, crowding to
get in, look over, peek through

across the border,

across the border,
under the chain, above the
fence, beyond the
wall – a history
of man-made
barriers,
keeping people
in their place

and then again, there are

and then again, there are
kisses that alight on
the last defense between
you and the unknown,
perched quietly on the
fence, waiting for a

we lean our ears

we lean our ears
against the fences of

year-old who knows
there is no one on the
outside to hear her
