Before I Sign May I Kindly Ask

Before I go ahead and Sign

On the proverbial dotted line
and place my John Hancock 

May I kindly enough enquire please

What exactly currently is the going

Rent you are charging 

For this lofty elevated empty space
residing inside your head

And does it have or provide any other
benefits apart from the two holes on
either side

That seem to whistle like wind chimes
which and whatsoever the prevailing
wind doth blow

And I see it also doesn't seem to come
with or be furnished with a brain inside
either

Just a keyboard with a poster above
it of what appears to be the sign you
find on the door of most men's toilet's 

Sadly and unfortunately though the
Knob looks as if it's missing too small
or been mislaid

Like the brain itself

Side holes allow you the choice of not hearing the wailing of the city. Two front windows welcome morning light, blinds to be installed if you prefer. I suggest you enjoy the view if you look at the sky. Furniture not needed for to live the life of a humble one, sit upon the floor. The poster is a focus point when you meditate. The keyboard? Last tenant left it. Rent? Nothing for you. Your brain is functioning well enough to have asked valid questions.
