Sometimes

Sometimes 

There are doors

And you can
Open and close
Them
Bar and bolt 
Them
Hide behind them
Or be trapped
 
Sometimes 
There are windows
And you can
See through them
They can shelter 
You from the rain
Or show you 
Places 
Far away
You'd rather 
Be
Sometimes
They are so dirty
You can't see
Anything 
At all
 
Sometimes 
There are mirrors
And they can reflect
Everything 
You want to see
And sometimes 
Point out
The things 
You don't
Wobbling with a wave
That is somewhere 
Between
Vanity
And apprehension
 
And sometimes 
There are cracks
Tiny fissures
Which barely 
Exist 
And you can ignore 
Them
Step over them
Tread on them
If you're unlucky
Occasionally 
You fall through them
And never
Find
Your way
