NOT MY DOOR

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I didn’t notice
him walk
into the restroom

I was talking
to My Mother-in-Law
outside the restrooms
when I decided
I should go too

-22.01.15_22:34-

Wanting nothing more
Than to run
From the shame,
A little thing,
Magnified in my head,
A catastrophe

Others’ Mistakes

As I write about life

I stumble upon many mistakes

From choosing a shoe to a wife

Bloopers every man makes

We are said to learn

From our error

But it is hard to discern

Running away from life’s horror
