Flashes From the Room

FLASHES (from The Room) Flashes! This Zarathustra image Spelunker comfy Smug captive Alone in the world The safety element – thought brings warmth humidity Walls Ceiling But a single window Yes – always that glance out the window At what o’clock? Thought – millions of such rooms their snug occupants in similar experience Millions alone in the world Billions! Something out of an outer space odyssey – Mind tied to a silver cord Floating out there Alone!

WoW! Just getting used to your sense of humor and then you show your serious side. Very thought provoking. I get the impression of people in a big city living on top of each other and no one knowing anybody. Good write. God Bless, JB

Such deep thoughts, Dave. Stark, haunting imgages. I, like you, love rooms, each has a story to tell. As always, your writing captures my senses. Did you get the first 2 chapter's I emailed to you? lainie

this is very surreal, by the way. It makes me think of man's aloneness in a very large universe!
