Cares of a Doorman
First, you unscrew
the faceplate and pry out
the broken door **** assembly,
then you remove
the smoothly machined,
cast iron latch bolt: ‘1914’
stamped on the tongue;
its torso forks
into bow legs.
Twist a paperclip
around its waist
to make it
a crutch
that will drag ends of thread across the floor,
until,
bolt-headed,
it senselessly stands
behind the door.
O my friend,
how long before
you hang?
