WALLS
They did not seek my permission
to brick me in, to entomb me
before they built these massive walls around me.
I brood forlornly, without hope
contemplating my ignominious fate.
I had plans, such ambitious plans.
While I crouched here intensely plotting
they were building brick on brick
and stone on stone around me.
I never heard a thing, was unaware
how quickly and how stealthily they sealed me.
