Such Doors


            Human beings shouldn't have to enter such doors, shouldn't have to stay behind them. No moon ever entered there, no stars, no anything at all. They were worse than the grave, for in the grave is an absence of consciousness. And god she reflected ordered the grave for all of us ; but god didn't order such burrows in a third-rate New York City hotel.
