Locked Doors and High Towers

and stuck on the outside
 the terrible beast within
with the latch on the  inside
I wait and wonder
and chat with the passers by
as I strip my own armor
and trade my weapons of words
for silence
and sandwiches
in  the shade
of an apple tree
in view from the window

I knew I would see something amazing

If only I look right
Look long
wait
and
see
Another of LA's character gives an excellent performance at Broadway and Griffin
