\nOnly after \/when it rings, and more than once.
\nIf it rings only once you don’t<\/strong> answer.<\/p>\n
\nOnly after someone knocks.
\nIf I knock on your door only once,
\nyou may dismiss it as something else.<\/p>\n
\nThe unmistakable message that someone is<\/strong> at the door.
\nNot the wind, not a\u00a0mishearing.
\nUnmistakable.<\/p>\n
\nRather than knocking. Three times. In-a-row.<\/p>\n
