Everything that I'm not.



                                                             Big Room, 1948, by Andrew Wyeth

I'm leaving you
and I'll leave you in this room,
because this room you see, is you.

Fixed in time
in sepia tone.
light filtered
washed walls
all nicely composed

It's a tribute to good taste
proper, quiet, balanced
but it screams from within
and it's smothering me with mold

I'm telling you
this room is you
from floor to ceiling
it's stone cleaned
and labelled
And it's everything that I'm not.
everything that I'm not.
that's why you see
I'm leaving you.
