Every thursday
every plain, grey eyed
thursday we wait.

These automatic
doors are home to
the many struggling souls,
caught between
need and desire.
of
im sorry
for this
im sorry for
this taste of destruction
known only by my skin.

The waiting room
is a shoe box we are
all trying to fit in.
sitting cross legged
in the foamy chairs
answering with false
answers to the question
of how are you

She greets us with a smile
that doesn’t try pretend

entering through
the doorway,
we walk like snails
down the slender hallway.

Reading this, I pictured a physiologist office. Your strongest lines, in my opinion is, "These automatic doors are home to the many struggling souls" and "The waiting room is a shoe box we are all trying to fit in." absolutely beautiful piece.
