The Open Door

light from open door
creates a pathway forward
into the shadows.

        Doh! Now I've stepped into darkness and can't see a thing. Fat lot of us that was to me! But wait, it's a lot of us to us - we won't be able to see Popeye's antics. But we'll still hear the glugs! We knew we couldn't escape him completely. heehee.

          Orchi 😂 well now we’re all just standing in the dark listening for glugs like it’s some kind of warning system…this is what we’ve become. What are the warning about. Wish we could, but WCAT! 🚪🌑✨🙏
