Expletives why
In ode, you broken thing
Like a Lego on my footpath
In the midnight of my life
You the sword of Damocles
To my unsubmissive heart
Did you plan to steal my shoes!
Had you thought I’d have no clothes?
Away, most ruinous
I’ve long kept you at bay
Be you rejected
Chastised or despised, first smile
Then comfort your foes

A fence may draw the eye, asking, will you act as friend?
What when we keep the Others out, what will that make us then?
Can’t we, won’t we alter fate of each whole soul, alike;
A fence with strong and welcome gate, a fence not stained by white.
