KNOCK INSTEAD ON A LOCKSMITH’S DOOR

.

I need to knock on a locksmith’s door.

It’s the trying time here/ on the entrance in.

It has me hammering for him.

The man outside/ stands right in a stance

Out on his home mat.

That security window likely/ lives up to their claim.

Cats perched there can watch me.

I Calmly curse in the rain,

I’m still calm for the keys/ that Mercy sees.

That Mercy’s his cat. /Mercy.

This damn door blocks my way/ again & again,

To dry sanctuary

She surely has cures to unlatch me.
