Printemps des poètes - Day 2
Border
It is a word used by the administration
Between several countries, it is in use
Between various people too
Even children
Border of a man on the pavement
Of a being in a dormitory
Of a child with a disability
Of a look here and there
Border
Transparent barrier
Between two members of the same family
Education at the opposite end of the spectrum from grandfathers
Source of resentment and misunderstanding
In a game of skittles
Smile not accepted
Yet some reach out
For in their human hearts
No demarcation between each
Claudette Méplomd
