4.10

Poor Mary. Your fingernail bent back on the doorjamb as you went to grab the handle. Such an innocent mistake, of course, but it's how your soul felt, too, when you went to grab onto me. Like a fingernail, bent back on an obtrusive edge that was so innocuous you had thought it was invisible.
Maybe it's too bad I'm not rounded and smooth, but at the same time: everyone has doorjambs. It's the getting inside a person's head that's supposed to be treacherous. I guess it's just too bad you didn't use the doorbell.
