Travel Itinerary: Wisconsin Summer

The body of Door County is an “i,” lowercase. 

Not set in italics like Death’s Door, 

portending demise, pretending to be 

something more than this simple passage 

between a peninsula and an island, 

implying that once its door is closed 

it’s closed for good, forever. 

Its rule is strict, but doesn’t take 

into account the people, places, and things 

on the other side, and the rules that they 

are following when they follow me 

following my map.
