Notes About The Poem

The Door of Uncertainty

once that door is open
there may be no looking back
uncertainty is a devil with two heads
and there’s little reasoning to be had

it’s a swinging door that’s
sometimes spinning out of control
its hinges are known to be defective
and there’s never been a master key

it’s often that the door to uncertainty
opens over an unforgiving cliff on open sea
