After unlocking was the door typically open or closed?
I viewed it as closed for the day, having unlocked and walked through, with due warning. It is worth noting here that the poem provides a loophole:
If you go through there is always the risk of remembering your name
Once one remembers one's name, all bets are off.
Do you remember the last time anybody commented on the poem?
To the best of my memory only one person ever commented on the poem -- a temp secretary who read everything on my door (of which there was, in rotation, either quite a lot or only one or two comics, in addition to the poem) as part of her prep for taking over the office for a couple days.
