Doors forever shut
barely squeaking open on rusty hinges
swinging freely with barely a push
from lack and need
passwords and permissions
unlocked seconds before a slam shut.
vulnerability where none was before
insecurity and fear
a chaotic sleepless world.
forever necessary
hinges oiled instead of rusted with neglect
create order from chaos
“Not all doors open in the same direction and with the same effort.”
