An unruly row of forsythia / barbed wire/ a brick wall / those orange and
white barrels in construction zones / chicken wire / a split-rail fence / a
split-rail fence with chicken wire / a picket fence /a chain link fence / a thick
chain drawn across a driveway / invisible fence / electric fence /wrought
iron / railroad ties / shadowbox / cinderblocks / stockade /rock walls /
lattice work / firewalls / the sound barrier / the great barrier reef / the thin
screen to which the stink bugs cling / an even line of Italian Cypress / the phospholipid bilayer membrane of the human
cell—
so many ways we won’t be
kept from one another.
