Use Other Door Poem by M.J. Lemon
Use Other Door

or time that needs attention

or a sharp metallic edge

kept in his pocket for just such an occasion
when maybe pitch dark night
or early, very early, pitch dark morning

with defective surveillance cameras
and a sleeping security guard
I assume sleeping
to create both the solitude and the
impromptu art studio that gave birth
to the instructions on the glass
entrance of the expensive downtown
office tower?

All doors are now the same, and your poem serves as a true mirror for humanity. Full Stars*****
Under the dim lights, melancholy sound, art was born from magical mind... and sorrow heart

A truly AMAZING poem! The very vivid imagery is art at its best. The mystery of the other door will hold me in suspense for quite some time. This is prime material for a video!
