Open the door.
It could be anything.
The possibilities are, if not endless,
at least more numerous than listable.
And to remain here, listless
hand on handle, participle dangling
like poorly constructed fragments
from a native’s lazy tongue
is the thief of potential.
Stealing all the positive things that might just come
And all the negatives, too!
Which are only negative when viewed too closely.
After enough time even verdigris is charming.
Open the door.
Let your eyes experience all this and more.
It could be anything.
