corridors

Posts: 1,700
people pass;
strangers,
fumbling their greetings
shy and reticent.....
babies scream
with each bump of the stairs
their piercing whimpers resound
the light is on for 2 minutes
exactly, and you can hear
the button click
once you're safe inside
mormons come and go
and people want you to switch
energy companies at the door
you fob them off with
impatient platitudes
I'm happy with my provider, thanks.....
big parcels arrive in the morning
when you're still sleeping
but nobody steals them
even though they're left on the step....
it's safe round here......
the smell of perfume
lingers and wafts into the walls
the smell of perfume
lingers
perfume (any brand)
it's all the same
flies get trapped inside
on the stairwell,
and beat their staccato death
out on the windows of the
street doors.....
you park your pram in the
'meter room'....
nobody steals it.....
it's safe round here.....
there's a mat at every door
wirey and walked-on
mats, and mats and mats....
there's lots of mats....
the first floor light
blinks sometimes...
but they fixed it
I think
the corridor, the hall, the stairs....
they're all chilly
like the flats...
open the street doors
and walk out into the warmth

....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

Well, my goodness. I hope things will stay nice and safe for you and your little son. I choose to hit my problems (whatever they may be at the time) head on, not that it is easy, I'm just the type that likes to get it over with. Faith is a very powerful and good thing and I hope you use it. It's always there for the taking and doesn't cost a thing. Think positive. It will work out.
I am truly glad things are going so well for you.
