the narrator mocks his neighbor a bit but the narrator is HIMSELF the one who bugs his neighbor to repair the wall every year

"something there is that doesn't love a wall" yes, it's entropy and decay - these boundaries are what define space for peopling

boundaries create good spaces - the light, raised platform, awnings etc. create space for sitting AND walkingpic.twitter.com/NFDdXYkpCs

boundaries are created by both "sides" - a product of mutual expression of intelligence, will, life (stone wall in Mending Wall)

The poem itself lacks one kind of boundaries bc it has no stanzas?
