Build A Wall Poem by The Poet SPIEL

build a wall

build a two car garage
one for your b-mer
one for her s u v
use automatic door openers
so your exits
will be swift and anonymous

build a third garage
for your only child
who will turn 16 any day now
and has her eye on a vintage vette

plus you will need
a tall deep garage
for your big mobile home
your his and her harleys
your speedboat your jetskis
and a power driver and hammer

now build a threshold with
a front door with a peephole
to one side of your garages
never mind a doorbell because
you should expect anyone
you want to see to text ahead

now build a house
behind the door behind your garages
email your boss to confront him
about your security in human relations
never mind your stocks have tanked
just take out a third mortgage

everything will turn out ok
