Borders

Does the mighty Pacific stop

Churning at your border crossing?

Does the brown pelican stop

Flapping its wings at your border crossing?

Does the north wind stop

Roaring at your border crossing?

Does the sky stop

Flying at your border crossing?

Who recognizes your border crossing?

Not the mighty wind,

Not the mighty ocean,

Not the mighty pelican.

Only the little homo sapiens

Bow down to your border crossing.

Neither the mighty eagle

Nor the faithful buzzard

Bow down to your border altar.
