GOOD NEIGHBORS


Stone wall

Stood on the border

Of the two

Properties

Watching on

Both sides

Generations of

Families living

Out their lives

Without knowing

Existence of

Neighbors on the

Other side

Relatives visit

Friends come and go

Households grow

Leave to new

Locations

Stone wall

Begins to disintegrate

Time passes

Privacy gone

Now see

Neighbors

Do you rebuild

Stone wall




CHANCE MEETING


They were

Worlds apart

Different in

Every way

Culture, religion, food

Met at university

Same interest in

Courses

Ideas

Different environment

Background

Blended into

College life

Two worlds

Became one

More different

We are

Same we become
