i see a red door

i paint my front door red.

not the dull burgundy red
the condo board insists on, but
a wild cherry red,

a Christmas red, a Chinese red.
i nail a red wreathe of berries
onto it as well.

i know i'm in trouble.
eva braun will be coming by
with her storm
troopers

at some point, as they make
their rounds with their clipboards
and cameras,

and i'll get a notice,
a warning, another warning
and then a final warning.

but i like my door, and i want
to see how long
it lasts, before they

hang me in the public square.
