I thought the wall was concrete
Thought the job was demolition
Then I looked a little closer
And discovered regulation
Not a fortress built forever
Not a prison without doors
A membrane choosing what could enter
When the system could absorb
Selective permeability
Let it through when it is safe
Hold the signal at the boundary
Till there’s somewhere it can land
Selective permeability
Protection isn’t failure
Sometimes survival means
Controlling what can pass
The younger mind was not defective
For refusing what it couldn’t hold
There are circuits built for shelter
There are gates designed to close
And maybe now the pressure changes
Maybe now the guard can see
There’s an adult at the boundary
Saying
You can send it through to me
Open one degree
Not all at once
No flood
No force
No demand
A little information
A little integration
Then close again
If you need
Selective permeability
The wall becomes communication
What protected me from knowing
Can now teach me how to know
Not everything
Not immediately
Only what the system says
Is ready
To come home
