When the Ambulance Arrived

 

When the ambulance arrived the medics

Pushing and pulling the gurney in and out

Knocked the latch from the jamb, which no one noticed

But later someone else found the door open

 

I walked across the road with a bag of tools

And fixed the latch with a couple of screws

Easily enough, a wooden door that opened

To Christmases and homecomings and life

 

The door is now secure, but I don’t think

The owner will ever walk through it again
