Doors

Doors fascinate me!
Smart town doors on smart town houses in smart areas of smart towns owned by smart people!
'Felicity and Jemima' at a smart private school,
a smart pair of cars in the smart driveway,
a driveway no less!
Smartly painted deep blue or vermilion red doors - with a very large,
heavy,
brass knocker in the shape of a lions head on the front!
Successful people leading successful lives behind smart doors!

Scruffy doors,
Scruffy doors on industrial buildings.
Doors on closed down commercial ventures!
Behind that door started somebody's dream,
a dream to run a successful business, 
now crumbled and empty behind a shut, 
locked and pealing door,
maybe a repossessed door!
What went wrong?

Pub doors! 
Small thin double doors.
"Come on in!
Buy a pint and a bag of pork scratchngs!
Come and watch the telly!
We've got 'Sky'
Spend your cash behind our doors!"

Shop doors left open to entice us in,
fascinating sounds and smells going on inside.
Restaurants with doors,
locked but with a scribbled note stuck to the inside saying,
"Open tonight at 6pm, please come and visit us then. Book online!"

Big chain stores with multiple doors,
but which door to choose?
"No not that one!
         ...that's the exit!"

Huge doors.
Tiny doors - how does anyone get in through those without banging their head!
Glass doors you can hardly see,
big heavy solid wooden doors covered in metal studs - almost threatening!
Rotating doors in posh hotels,
always open yet always closed - very clever!
Automatic doors that 'swoooosh' open as you walk past like the doors on the 'bridge' of the star-ship 'Enterprise'.

Doors.
All types sorts and sizes and shapes and colours and materials and ages and designs and; and...

...and all we want to know is,


         ...what's going on behind them?
