Painted White Door

A man is approached by a painted white door. He is intrigued. Perplexed. He examines every slight ridge and indentation left by the roller, every bulge of excessive drops of paint, every smudge incurred before it fully dried, dust and fibers forever sealed into the paint, the occasional scratch, the occasional hole. Aghast is he--having never noticed the so much more to the simple painted white door. How will he be, if he ever sees what's behind.
