today I walked down hallways
down rows of endless doors
endless doorknobs
endless windows
all marked with infinity
all meaning everything
and nothing
the ever constant contridiction
careful not to touch them
they might implode
with no lights
no flashes
no truimphant crash
to prove there was ever anything
if we take our shoes off
and walk down hallways
careful not to touch
careful not to breathe
we might live forever
endless years
till nothing

and everything

Such is life living within the ''flux''....life is a series of doors...doors of decision...doors of exclusion..doors of the mind...fling them open and be damned i say...leave not one unopened..enjoyed this write thank you..

This poem speaks to me of the almost existential angst that one can only cure by choosing for the self which door to open and what has value.  An interesting write that reminds me of making fundamental decisions about life.
