The closed gates

by 116th Street

The closed gates are

Stephen Miller's backbone

a new challenge for those Watergate guys

2-step authentication for 1-step closer to fascism

Allied Security's birthday wish

a place to feel unwelcome

a Detour sign

chimera chameleon.

The closed gates are

the Columbia Un-American Activities Committee

ghosting the neighborhood while still posting on socials

the Red Coats, like Myles Cooper (he was the Columbia president who sided with the British and sailed away)

Jack's broken heart

closed eyes

bone spurs.

The closed gates are

a declaration of dependence

the Titanic

the iceberg

Ivermectin

the new Coke with an expensive nothingburger

the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl

less safe than open gates.

The closed gates are

disquieting us with each ID swipe

more disappointing than the last episode of Seinfeld

more disappointing than the last book of the Bible

totally getting pwned by the other Ivys

bewildering

bemoaned

beyond

beware

be

cause I said so.

The closed gates are

keeping us out and keeping us in

indifferent to Alohomora and Expelliarmus

more expensive than bribing Tom Homan, which is less than a year of tuition

an eternal mulligan

but the levee was dry

"Don't ask me about my business, Kay."

The closed gates are

the Maginot Line

not crowning good with brotherhood

breaking our hearts and shaking our confidence daily

the 1%

once opened, are never ever ever getting back together

not used to protect students from ICE

, yet.

The closed gates are

probably not a challenge for the Mission Impossible folks

the straw man

the tin man

a cold steel rail

confusing gates for safety

"going to hurt me more than it hurts you"

the Berlin Wall

the writing on the wall

whoever denied it supplied it

supposed to be open.
