whats that door do?
on your shirt...                     it opens and closes
funny if you haven't heard it all before
it is just
yet another door
Decissions     
Outside        
Ourselves      
Revealed      

doors DO open
and doors DO close
they keep you in
enclosed and safe
they keep you out
excluded, confused
they lock latched  at last
 they swing swiftly shut
they creep carelessly open
or carefree quickly close
not all doors
have windows...watching
and some
have blinds...unseen
 open a door
stand at the threshold
walk....thru the door...
unsure of what
  the other side
holds
there are doors
that slam
surprise
there are doors
that swing
reprise


sometimes
(we)
walk past a door


(we know)(we) should open
and walk thru
but (we) stand in fear
or
trepidation
uncertainty
or never
certainly
never knowing
what a door will hold
until you use it
standing in a room full of doors
i do not want to walk back thru
the door
from where i came
that door is closed to me now
swinging shut
with a thundering thud
i stand and stare
at all these doors
wondering where
they will take me
wondering where
i will go
knowing where
i have come
from
nowhere?
somewhere?
to
nowhere?
somewhere?
until i choose
which door
(is best)
to open 
what's that door (do?)
   for                      
me                
      now?         
Just Another Door? In Paradise

  1. Bruce: your piece today was very creative and thoughtful. Very different from your usual stream of consciousness style. I liked how you were creative with the indenting as well. This was really good!

  3. Doors ... you leave 'em open, I gotta step through 'em. Gets me in trouble sometimes.

  4. Wow, very well written,Bruce! The door is a definite metaphor for choices...

  5. Damn doors. The metaphor in this reminds me a lot of The Road Not Taken (and being compared to Frost is nothing to scoff at).
