Walls in the Way, Ways in the Wall

"Walls in the Way, Ways in the Wall"

From walls in way to ways amid walls, lovers refusing to death to be kept apart --- "No, leave the wall! Remember, you must always leave the wall." "Without hurt the heart is hollow." (The Fantasticks) Wall-defined, defiant, lovers daring to go up against, and over!

"I was a judge at the Terlinga Chili Cookoff . . . It was '83 or some year right around there when we held The Fence climbing contest. See, people talked
about building The Fence back the, too! The Fence along the Mexican border. To keep Them out!

"At the time the proposal was quite specific -- a 17-foot fence with barbwire
at the top. So a test fence was built at Terlinga, and the First-Ever Terlinga Memorial Over, Under, or Through Mexican Fence Climbing Contest took place. Prize: A case of Lone Star beer. Winning time: 30 seconds.

"I tell this story to make the one single point about the border and immigration we know to be true: No fence will work. They will come anyway.
Over, under, or through." (Molly Ivins)

Who is any less "documented" to do what he does than Jesus?
Less beholden to ossified borders? Even between Death and Life?
"Undocumented" now, to us, Missionaries! Nonviolent Systemic Miscegenators! Against who authorities betting, this week as always,
on Crosses and Tombs, like Fences and Walls, capstoned, Rome-armed and guarded; but proving no match, whatever is needed, to keep lovers together,
loving alive.
