The Doors of Vienna

The Doors to Vienna

I'm running.
I'm running fast.

I'm trying to reach the open doors of Vienna,
I'm running to them.

Three minutes and I'll reach them,
Why am I running so fast?

What is so attractive about Vienna?
A minute ago it was so attractive, but as I draw closer I'm not so sure.

Is life bad enough to run willing into the open arms of death?
I'm not so sure anymore..

I run faster,
But in the opposite direction.

Those doors are not something I want,
I don't want to die.

I'm running as fast as I can from the galloping horse of death,
But, will I make it?

  1. I like the running. I would leave off the informational item about Vienna though. Let the reader do that work on his own; gives it depth and mystery.
