but door down. quiet, still, dark. 'now' knowing. 'past' knowing .'tomorrow' knowing. thinking.
*
door down:

every door up time is new knowing. every door down time is new thinking.

door down:
there are many. am I many? but other many do not know 'same', do not know 'past', do not know 'tomorrow'. only know 'now'.
*
door down:
Some are not many! Some do not have door down. Some give food, Some take push things, Some are big, Some make shush noises. Some are not the same as many.
*
door down:
Some are Be-ee, Fee-ee, Ha-ee.
*
door down:
Am I many? Am I not many? No, I am not many. Am I Some? Am I not Some? Am I?
*
door down:
Some will know. Some will tell.
Be-ee? Be-ee no more door up for many door down past.
Fee-ee?
Ha-ee? Ha-ee will know. Ha-ee will tell.
*
