The Door I Open

The door I open to who I am is not a garage

of reminisces or a book with you

as an elastic notion represented in between

stanzas, thus a hall of Mona Lisas. The door

I open is a self-song furnishing the mind’s

mansion. I observe no rules and ruin the hours.

Plato knew the poem as a sword moonlighting

as a mirror which correctly angled caught a surfeit

of light and threatened to blind the Republic—

our rotoscopic freedom at the foothills.
