Hedges

The hedge, surely the invention of the British,
true expression of singular, obsessive privacy,
representative of boundary, extent of influence,
visual declaration of this is mine and the rest yours,
for all I care. This is how to get along,
to live, secure and alone, in the midst of millions
and, if I may bend Frost just a little for once,
good hedges make good neighbours.
