Strange Meeting

(lost in the new supermarket)



'Fire Door'


I read and read until 'Fyodor' entered my head.

How he was led to his mock execution.

The utter dread of being dead.


Suddenly myself in the very act of fear;

'I'm locked up in here forever'

Total terror, total dread.


'Turn Left' it said, so relieved.

How Dostoevsky felt,

After his reprieve.
