Blank Pages of a Doormat

"What is life but a succession of preludes to unwritten words . . . "

                                 Quote by_Constance La France

BLANK PAGES OF A DOORMAT

a touch of emotion is what she’s after…his touch a fire
lit inside their combatant stoves…pen ought to inspire

tit and tat attention, enclosed in verbal laundromat -
mumbling and tumbling inside - the words of a doormat

no conception in this tight-fisted vestibule - counselor points
to a list of verbs, nouns, adjectives - each word disappoints
