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.
