People are doors
Only one is going to match the house
So we go shopping
For the available doors
Finding a model we like
We rule out the ones with handles too high for our reach
Eliminate the ones that slam shut
Keeping the ones with windows
So we can see inside
When it's installed
The way to tell it's perfect
Is if opening it plays
The song of strangeness
That matches your steps.
