== Along the Wall ==
Along the Wall,
The wall of straight,
The wall of never ending length
We stand without a motion
Never varied from the line,
Keeping silent vigil,
Doing work of twenty men,
Then, when the tasks are over,
Begin them once again.
But when the change prevailing
Taps the portal's dawn;
We must prepare to shimmer
And give the best we can.
So, from the wall - recital,
Listened by the throngs,
Critic's ears unerring
Picked clean down to the bone.
We must be loud and forceful,
To shout our names in call,
So they might elevate us
To yet different wall.
