A Lock is a Problem


A lock is a problem

a problem is a lock

a lock lacks a key

a key lacks the lock

 

Do you see thee nice?

But do you see 

what cannot be seen?

The problem?

 

It isn't there,

It is here,

Behind this door,

Behind this lock

 

The tick-tocks of a clock

Where's the key?

Where's the lock?

Do I see?
