The Wall

By Tim Philippart

 

what worries me is not

a great one in China.

a razed wall in Berlin,

one for holy wailing or,

the proposed between Mexico and the US but,

the barrier that dams the flow of

empathy, compassion and kindness

between you and me.

 


Tim Philippart: For three years, I have been writing pieces that are kind of frothy. I like to write about love and often end with a bit of humor. In these recent days, I think too much about a guy who said, “I will hire all the right people.” I then wonder why he ends up with hair like he has.
