close//open


They say when one door closes another one opens.
This is not a logical expression: one door closing doesn’t do anything to affect other doors (unless you are on an elevator, I guess).
When one door closes, you have to take action.
When one door closes-
Push it back open,
Pick the lock,
Ring the bell,
When one door closes-
Crawl underneath,
Dig a hole,
Get a ladder,
Or—
If you feel how I do—
Say “meh” and take a nap.
It will open if it wants to
When it wants to.
(I prefer windows.)

Have you been reading Emily Dickinson? Part of this is very ED. I like it.
