What Is A Door? What Is It For?
Tap on it,
Convey a question.
Slam it,
Deliver a rebuke.
Lock it,
Now it's less clear
what you've done—
kept danger at bay
or a dear friend away,
increased someone's safety
or made them unfree.
Out here it's an entrance to
a chamber of secrets,
a magical realm of
inclusion,
provision,
tradition and glee;
fraternity,
sorority,
endless possibility.
In here it's an exit from
the chamber of secrets,
a tyrannical realm of
coercion,
intrusion,
a delusional sea;
enmity,
jealousy,
blatant infidelity.
Today it's a captor,
colluder of walls,
Tomorrow an escape hatch,
defier of walls.
