Door Poems: Getting there by Mariah Pompa



Just reach for it,
You've worked for this,

Dressed up for this,
filled out enough damned paper work for this,

The cool metal slips through your sweaty fingers,
A quick swipe on your pant leg saves face,

The handle clicks against the ring on your finger,

You may have a heart attack before you know,
 Your chest aches at that thought,

Adjusting the knot in your tie,
Lighten the load,

Take the handle,
its time to go.
