May 10.25: Thursday Doors Writing Challenge

The New knocks,

” I’m here! Let me in!”

“Not by the hair

on my chinny chin chin,”

says solid Old,

in gouty fright,

scared to open,

dead bolt tight.

And thus does New

in resignation

abide in patient

occupation,

until the ponderous

cautious Old

can’t stand not knowing

what the unopeneds hold.
