somewhere in a conquered city
that no one has ever entered
down a street
that no one has ever walked
there is a door
that no one has ever opened
into a room with a table
that no one has ever sat at
on the table is a book
that no one has ever read
and when you read it
you will say
of course
i should have seen that long ago
everyone should have seen that long ago
and you get up
to go out to tell everybody the news
but the door is gone
and you can not get out
you look out the window
down to a street that is so far down
that you can not see it
or maybe it no longer exists
beneath a sky that will never rain
