WHERE THERE'S A WALL
This poem begins with a play on the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way." The speaker describes the numerous ways to get over or around a wall, showing how it isn't that difficult to surmount this problem. However, once the speaker is standing at the top of the wall, she can't see the person she's looking for and hears this person inside the wall below her.
