If each and every grain were a Year, Than every knock would be an Episode, So came the story that is my Door. And, One – was the loudest pound, “Authority,” When the P.D.’d nearly warped Hinge, So came my first night in the Clink. Two, three, and four – Love, only Love, And one of two later; SLAM! Or one silent escape, fled and Sundered. Five – was the knock that never came. Six – “tap, tap, tap,” Mom, It must have been my mom, or rather, Obligation And she’d swear to my sisters, “he’s Ok.” Seven, eight, and nine – Deliveries, Disguise, Pizza, Chinese, pizza and not so Famished Anymore; fuel for the guts, guzzle for the Words. Ten – came a' “gamechanger,” Tear-smeared-mascara, And two hands atop your Abdomen; I knew atop the water your freckles, You’d never need knock again. So if each and every grain were a Year, Than every knock would be an Episode, And this would be the story, that’d ever Be our door.

"...who's there?"

Looking at the door and looking back through the years - I remember every face and every "legend."
