Extended silence in a eggshell room makes you feel as though you yourself are being enveloped into its walls. As though you are washed away, and becoming a blank slate. I guess you could call this a reaction to depersonalization. Writen in 2019.

A room's whites cry loud
Still sound fills it with endless echo
No thought, no audible breath, no
Perspective
This view too is
Outside perceivable depth
Only a snowy canvas
Full of emptiness to reveal
The plan
Grab a roller
Pour the can, and 
Paint myself eggshell
Now I am the blank slate 
Man
