Stale Trick

The first door I believed in boasted of the things it had, and I didn't.

The second one only wanted to show me how much time I had spent in a Polaroid.

Another door was nice to me but the nuts were badly screwed.

The bravest move was taking a chance on each door.

That any one of them could have been it.

And every door was knocked.

The next door might welcome me with the brightest smile.

But I just might have been the only one there to knock.
