The Inside Door
by Alan Harris
|
What, to go out through the inside door, is gained and lost and revealed? What if some organ resigns early or an oncoming car presents crashdom when yet no I in me prefers cessation? From jelly and muscle and bone did birth make me me? Get away, I heartily say-- I rode this body into solidness and trained it in the school of earth. Down it goes, you say? Slips off me overcoatlike? Whoever in me is my inner me says "Wasn't that life a honey?" as out I slip through the inside door and maybe muse "Well, well, well" spaciously for 800 years or so until some earthbound man has too many beers and gets his wife or his woman gently to beckon me down to her womb for another grade in school. |
From the book Heartclips (1996)
