The Doorknobs

Dangling from the doorknobs

Of my neighbors, lots of days,

Are little bags with handles,

Which is one of many ways

 

Of connecting in the city.

Have a message or a gift?

Drape it over someone’s doorknob

And provide a welcome lift.

 

When I travel, there’s a bag I hang

For papers to be left.

If I miss my daily New York Times,

I’m sure to be bereft.

 

Our packages get left downstairs –

The lobby’s like our stoop –

But the small things fit on doorknobs

Just as long as there’s a loop.
