WALLS
With no consideration, no pity, no shame,
they've built walls around me, thick and high.
And now I sit here feeling hopeless.
I can't think of anything else: this fate gnaws my mind-
because I had so much to do outside.
When they were building the walls, how could I not have 
   noticed!
But I never heard the builders, not a sound.
Imperceptibly they've closed me off from the outside world.
