Eight steps. Yellow door, red gate, number 1032. Ten more steps. Did I turn off the stove? Affirmative.. Twelve steps. Crack. Momma’s back. Eighteen steps. Stop sign. This way, that way, all clear, cross. They brought her back from the brink of death. It’s different when there were no lights. Voyage classified incomplete. Cross the street. Twenty and seven and curb. New crack. Momma’s got a new limp now. The old limp healed after they took the cast off.Green door, grey door, number 1046. Still eighty four steps to the corner. Another grey door, two blue doors, a green gate and four cracks. The light will change twice and then she will be there and it will change again. It always changes again.
