Hidden Rooms


Everyone carries hidden rooms inside,
places where no one else is allowed to go.

These rooms help make us aware
that we are separate from one another.

It isn't the hidden rooms that harms us.
It's the amount of time we spend in them.

Some of the rooms even are hidden from ourselves. We go in search of them and, when found, can't figure out how to open them.

More Hidden Rooms

Inside an ornate tortoise shell
Candelabras burn like hell.

Inside a conch, hearing the sea,
Ménière faints from spinning debris.

Hidden rooms aren’t sane to explore,
When insides no longer have any door.

Some rooms we can't get in, and some we can't get out.

Such is the nature of the ten thousand things.
