December 20, 2014Mystery Story
You’re sitting in Mrs. Cuftor’s house
You’re drinking a glass of tea
The unknown is the door behind you that leads to someplace mysterious
And you’re wondering about the humming on the deck
And the piano playing without fingers
And the sound of typewriting
You hear dark music from the mysterious door behind you
You take the cup of tea away from your lips
You stand up, and Mrs. Cuftor says
Stay awhile …
