do locked doors stop bullets?

[alleyway]

i lost a day,
gained an hour,
and found a life.

All wrapped
up and down
in 26 symbols
lost

divisors
they try to come out in time.
stuffing revelations
to ravel out.
between fingers,around words.

And all the time
she's mumbling

she doesn't care to say
and semantic clowns
pounce listlessly
towards claws coming out from her eyes.
