The Final Door

"The most interesting things happen in doorways."

Your first kiss. Your last.

As one door shuts, another opens.

Always look for the light.

Alas your present is haunted by your past

"The most interesting things happen in doorways."

A veteran, sleeping for the night.

He is not unfamiliar to the words Karl Marx

As one door shuts, another opens.

Two men, hiding out of sight

attending to discreet business, fast fast fast.

"The most interesting things happen in doorways."

A gunshot. Now you see the light.

Take a deep breath. It is your last.

As one door shuts, another opens.

Now you elevate to a new height.

Your time here has forepassed.

"The most interesting things happen in doorways."

As one door shuts, another opens.
