"Prospective Immigrants Please Note"
Either you willgo through this door
or you will not go through
If you go through
there is always the risk
of remembering your name
Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen
If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily to maintain your attitudes
to hold your position
to die bravely but much will blind you
much will evade you
at what cost who knows?
The door itself
makes no promises
It is only a door.
Adrienne Rich
