WANTING TO GO IN, BUT NOT REALLY STAYING FOR LONG

there is a way towards a closed door
without using the key
and without knocking or
breaking it down

there is no use for diplomacy sometimes
worse is violence and worst is deceit

there is a way to it and it is the most trivial
and most effective: entice the door with a senseless talk

it cannot ignore it, and then tell it about a window
how sad that it had remained closed for years
sunless in the Bahamas and
dampened in New York

sometimes something trivial works, something like a
feigned sophistication distracts it
from what it is locking out

one day i tell a joke about a ladder where some steps
are missing
like some decayed tooth which fly away from the gums
and the door laughed
since it has no teeth too

and so it let me in but to appease it i said
i won't be long. I still want to stay outside and play with my life
under the trees.
