january 23rd, 2012 - “storm door.”
the storm door
to the back porch
never closed right
after you ran through it
“because the neighborhood dog
chased you home
from the bus stop.”
it never slammed
the same way:
that thunderous clang
from over-greased hinges
and the broken hydraulic piece,
still never managing
to catch the latch
on the first hard pull.
…i never did try
bending it back into place.
