Nothing Unknown at B and N

I
Something is knocking on my door.
Though what it is I cannot say.
It will not reveal its identity.
When I look through the glass nothing is revealed.
Yet it knocks still –
     knocks and asks for notice.

Why do I not open the door?
Because I don't know what's there.

II
I don't recognize the knock
     but I have heard it before.
That knock begs my attention
     asks for my leave to enter
     and connect.
It haunts me.
The now calls.

There is no vision.
I am alone.
We are here
     without the clone.

III
There is no knock
     no door
     no ever more.
I hear nothing
     except Bob Dylan distantly from the ceiling somewhere
     incoherent.
The knocking stops.
I am alone –
     like all of you.
