The wood has been treated
with pressure.
Built to sustain hardships.

Arranged with equal spacing,
board after board of wood builds a wall
strong, and powerful.
Blocking more than can pass through,
it makes you believe you have a chance,
through the narrow openings.
Reality stands different.

Border. Barrier. Boundary.
All names apply.
Its commonality in partitioning property
eludes us,
the shared spread of land between us
stretches too far.

A new collection
of wood designed to withstand pressure,
due to arrive soon.
