It's easy

kicking in

bedroom doors 

because they're so cheap 

in this house; they're 

hollow

and thin wood.

I still crush aluminum cans 

in the street.  I mean

I'll change

sides of the street

in order just

to stomp them.

Really, 

what else

do you need to know?

61 views and no reviews? And maybe I'm not a helpful reviewer, but I think I want to contemplate the title and the words and what they might mean one to another . . . and maybe I'll just wander off into the drizzling rain

and maybe I'll remember your words on another day

Readers:

From my perspective, the world is straining under a surfeit of words and scattered language; that you all would find the smallest merit in these words is a gift, undeserved. Thank you JRB, Ed and CFB.


Reading this again, after a little distance, it is incomplete, as has been rightly suggested. There is simply not enough here for any thoughtful reader to engage with. I do plan a revision. Again, thanks!

This is interesting to me because the subject emphasizes the ease of destroying cheap bedroom doors, but also emphasizes the lengths to which he or she will go to destroy something.

What is ironic about that to me is that it is "easy" to destroy the doors, which are probably harder to damage than an aluminum can...The can is more of a "normal" thing for a person to crush, and yet the subject exerts more energy doing that.

And then I am left wondering... why was he or she kicking in so many bedroom doors?

Great poem :) Yours get me thinking!
