A Thousand Doors (Poem)  by mjm942

Lost in a daydream

Walking down the street

One mind always racing

A sluggish pair of feet

 

One long sunny day

A million opaque nights

A land without a king

Things equal alright

 

Kids in a sandbox

Throwing stones into the water

Hoping that it rains

So they can buy a quarter

 

Termites in the maple

Chewing threw the border 

To crumble justification 

Of a silly pecking order 

 

Needing a million seconds

Of someone's stolen time

I lit my bed on fire

And burnt my concubine 

 

Sorry scatterbrained scarecrow

That you hang on a stick

In a godforsaken forest

Ruled by a godforsaken witch

 

Exhale all the smoke 

Jump into its billows

We can melt right through the floor

And hope to land on pillows

 

But with an incredible splash

We dropped in a lake

We got tangled up

When fate rewound the tape

 

So we should just travel

To the center of the Earth

And think about the world

A beginning or a birth?

 

In here we should stay

Laughing with the sun

When our beginning has began

Before we could have become.
