THE DOORMAN
THE DOORMAN He announced himself as doorman pulling veils of vortices archetypes tumbled out there was Einstein and St Theresa even Blake and Stalin Floating like elementals with elevated subtlety he blessed them all as enticing experiences Excited he widened a door to expose emissaries stamping time and space Monroe curled statuesque legs around his waist wobbly, said she only...
