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
