I Pause – Friday 27th November 1998

I Pause

i pause for breath
i pause to open your doors
i am a character actor
with too many flaws
i am a poor benefactor
and a cat with no claws
but i pause
and you catch my breath
when you walk through doors
i am a sleeping giant
who is dwarfed by it all
i wish i could but i cannot –
i am just far too small
i pause for breath
and catch it again
after you have left
do not set me questions
i will never pass the test
but always remember that when you pass
i pause for breath
and open your doors
