those walls are such ineffable creatures aren’t they
at first they are cast in solid steel
impenetrable
solid
unmovable
insurmountable
then for some god-knows-what reason
with or without your knowledge or consent
they come down just a little
then sneak back up some
down
up
down
up
they start bouncing around all over the place
until you no longer have any control over them
but they never completely go away
and it doesn’t take much
simple things really
a warm expression
a cold response
to force the walls to shoot straight back up to the sky
again
and the next thing you know
we’re all hiding behind walls
or buried beneath the rubble
