I wrote this poem about borders... what do you think?
'Gator River
black boy, in a black house
white girl, in a white house
either side of 'Gator river
The alligators snap,
green, slimy and livid
with their guns and striped hoppers
Infecting 'Gator river
they try to cross
to reach, and love eachother
a black shoe, a white shoe
either side of 'Gator river
the blistered backs sink
beneath pointed toe
and they fall, screaming to the bottom
now both brown by the bubbling mud
on the bed of 'Gator river
