"Something there is that doesn’t love a wall…
He says again, “Good fences make good neighbors.”

        -Robert Frost, from Mending Wall


_Something There is That Needs a Wall_

Something that doesn’t love a wall is me
With other Internauts, I want to be free.

But some free spirits become disgrace
When liberated in cyberspace.

We’re slow to learn that after the Fall
We have not earned such license at all.

(Utopians are never eager to see
The ways that walls make people free.)

But when we meet, we meet in a place
Removed from the crazy highway race.

Something there is that needs a wall:
The preschool, the office, the shopping mall.

And so the mender might glean from his labors
Truly, good fences do make good neighbors.
