as ear to shook wooden floorboards grain
rises and falls with the ever louder strain
deliberate leather and sharp heel
ever arrives at your closed door seal
with a military click and hard knock
that bows the wood inwards a thock
as if punishment is that ruler thwacked
on your disobedient knuckles, whacked
on your alternative beliefs and drummed
into guilt cogito et summed.
