Longer than expected

I walked by
On my way
To the bathroom
To wash my hands
Saw the door
To the bedroom
Slightly ajar
Extended my hand
And pushed it
To open
All the way
And let in
Some light
Proceeded
To the bathroom
Turned on the water
And was halfway
Through washing
My hands
When I heard
The door bump
Against the wall
Which I thought
Was uncanny
Because my best sense
Of time
Told me,
“That was
An eternity ago
When you pushed
Open that door”
