Not Tonight – A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

I stepped into the elevator
Pushed the Up button and the doors closed
But it descended slowly into darkness
As the doors slowly opened
My demons were waiting
“We’ve missed you”, they moaned
I sighed and again pushed the Up button
The doors closed and I smiled
Saying to myself, “Not tonight
Not tonight”
