"Door"

An exercise in surreal poetry

They say in Deep Space

No one can hear you scream!

Of course they can't,

There's no one there!

There is however, a door

A big, stout, solid door.

You never see it,

You never touch it,

Or hear it.

But you do hear

The echo of it's slamming,

That tells you,

You are alone!

The echo,

Like a life,

Winking out!
