How Do You Feel Now
How do you feel now
after a good hammer day
hammering at nails
to build your own wall?
Construction takes you
to frame
what's in your mind
it lets you see your thoughts.
Every fitted joint
becomes a home-run for you,
makes you more confident
and you stride like a peacock.
When you hold a chisel to wood
and strike its head
you begin a mark
to make a mortise
in your mind.
When the encryption is complete
without failure
even the chisel
will smile
at the master feat.
Gender is not there
to lift your doubt
because the project
is you
in substance
and form.

very nicely done in expressing the intricate ways of building walls for ourselves, we are so conscious of every detail--even take pride in it as we cover our asses and close ourselves in.
