No Entry


It wouldn’t open
I knocked
I rang
I kicked, pushed
Got a sledgehammer
A drill, a crowbar
It wouldn’t open
Possibilities exhausted
I couldn’t get in
Until
Someone said
Use the back door

    We only find it after all possibilities are exhausted.

    Hahaha! Oh, the perils of being too focused on one outcome to even see the possibilities.
