Three Doors by Charles Simic[audio mp3="http://travisbedard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Three-Doors-by-Charles-Simic.mp3"][/audio]This one kept its dignityDespite being kickedAnd smudged with fingerprints.Someone wanted to get inReal bad.Now the whole neighborhood can seeWhat went on late last nightAnd the night before.Two clenched fistsRaised highPounding, pounding,And asking GodTo please bear witness.* * *This door's hinges,I suspect,Give off a nasty screechFrom seeingToo many feet caught in it.Just a minute ago,Some fellowWith that it-pays-to-be-cagey lookSnuck out.Screams of a child,Yelps of a kicked dogAnd wild laughterFollowed after him.* * *I heard the neighbor's screen doorCreak open at daybreakTo let the cat inWith what sounded like a stage whisperInto her still-dark kitchen.I could feel the black cat rub herselfAgainst her bare legsAnd then take her first lickWith her rough, red tongueOf the cold milk glowing in the saucer.4.
