Outside my window is a fence, a cedar fence,
with vertical six-inch boards
supported by two-by-four horizontal railings,
railings attached at each end
to vertical four-by-four posts.
The four-by-fours are planted in concrete.
The fence sags, three inches in the middle of each rail.
The fence yields to years of its own weight.
The four-by-fours delay the collapse.
