Wall

I am going to build a Wall between us
so that you will never know me
and I will never know you

it will be non-porous
made of a 21st century material
completely impermeable

I cannot bear the thought that bits
of you might filter through to me
skin toe dirt germs

ideas

I cannot bear the thought that bits of me
might filter through
to you

I don’t have germs, nor flaky skin,
And I don’t want
yours

from a perfect seamless 21st century material
I am going to build a wall
between me

and me
