Which way to appear?

The hinges of the door
are strong
for holding 
the wind at bay.

These hinges can also be 
accessories to the destruction
of fingers placed and timed
poorly.

When I think about my life
looking at it like a series
of successes and difficulties
overcome

this hinged door
opens.

The door appears
broken and closed
when I imagine 
I have stumbled
from failure to failure.

And when I look at my hands
I see ten fingers
and the good fortune
to have learned
how to type.
