Hallway

My Soul says
perfection
I open a door
and see myself
holding 3's
covered in numerical circles
smelling of wet earth
I tag someone
he says he's not it
I take back my touch
and close the door

My Soul says
perfection
I open a door
and see multiple hands holding
books and children
people and love
I tag the earth
it says it's not it
I take back my touch
and close the door

My Soul says
perfection
I open a door
there's another door to open
I step into a hallway
and see my Soul there
It says hello
I tag It
It laughs and begins to count
I turn to run
so it can chase me
but not before I close the door
