actually there were two basement
doors at the top of the steps one opened
into the hallway upstairs the other swung
into the basement
they were hinged on the same side
there was a couplethree inches of
dead spacedead air between them
usually the door at the top of
the basement steps remained open that
threshold was probably a metre deep he didnt know this so he thought to
share it a metre is defined currently as
the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in a second the dictionary told him so will wonders
never cease
that the threshold was deep stop
the young and the elderly from falling headlong down the harsh wood steps
he got down the steps to him
first
he didnt know why there were two basement
doors at the head of the stairs
it wasnt his house
sometimes he was troublingly more
this could be considered breaking
and entering

The before an after of the remark

he can hear her
going uphill he saw crumbled patches
where underlying rock spied on the sky many anthills he followed a line of intrepid
foragers that led him to a small dead bird they were rendering it appeared to have crashed its wings extended
its eyes hollowed out there was tall grass dirt deer paths colourful
wildflowers
at the top of the hill he saw he was able to take in a 360degree panorama open fields pastures shy furrows where
rain ran downhill other hillocks crags bold spines of stone darkgreen shivering
oaks distant blue mountains shaded purple faces graywhite sunstreaked cliffs somber
cloud shadows mountains furthur away ridges like blades keen silveredwhite a lightblue sky
at the horizon whose colour deepened between purewhite billowing clouds which appeared as soft as the folds of a woman

when he walked in he eyeballed
the place
hadnt a clue how he missed her
obviously she preceded him in
though his happenstances usually did
when it came to women
in the right place at the right
time
who knew the DMV would ever be the
right place
he thanked his lucky stars
they graced him again
the employee took her license
photograph
itll never do her justice
she did shutdown the fireworks quickly bundled her hair up and confined it
again kinda like closing a exquisite dangerous
stiletto
she did what she was told
he
had to get himself a woman like that
the DMV is publicspace
NOT IN PUBLIC
NOT ALLOWED
TRESPASSERS WILL BE
VIOLATED he
loved that sign he saw hung badly on a barbedwire fence in Montana
if he didnt do all the things he did
that he wasnt supposed to hed have lead a miserable life
the quality of ones life isnt
doing what youre toldisnt falling in lineis understanding the difference
between you and othersthe difference between right and wrong is standing up for what is right decrying it
deploring defying it not lipservice but getting in its face because the very first thing to understand about wrong
is that itll never correct itself
he hmmedstroked his masked
chin returned to his book
he decided she was never there
