Knock-Not
by Kate Demeree
Opportunity knocked
Thrice on a barred door
Blood red knuckles
Knock no more
Color me purple
Bronze and blue
Paint me rose
And amber too
Give me red suede
Leather and brass
Stiletto nails
Pour me a glass
Strike the band
Play the music loud
Polish the floor
Gather a crowd
Come on tweedle
Dance with me
Celebrate how foolish
A knocker can be 10/21/2003 Posted on 10/21/2003
