the peephole

thank God for the peephole
it has saved
me so many times
over the years.
a disgruntled ex,
a salesman,
a politician,
or mormon wanting
me to join
their cause.
i look out and sigh,
i hold my breath,
and drop to the floor,
i inch my way back
to the couch,
but not before
turning the dead bolt
on the door.
