of the two
do you
want to hear more about?
What do you
really want
to be told?
Is it something
you don't already know—
like the limits
of trust,
or which lusts you
can't control?
Or would you settle
for any small
anecdote at all,
as long as it comes
with enough
space around it
to somehow both
extend the bounded
outcome of the choice,
and, of course,
to muffle the roar
or clear voice
which might
dwell beyond the door?
