Rooms

December 24, 2011 by Kenneth Hart

Rooms

When a room needs a door, its function is to close.

An open room is for people and their need for space

Windows are eyes in the face of a room.

Plants and walls are ears.

The fireplace and cellar, closets and cabinets are internal organs.

New furniture changes a fraction of the feel of a room.

Noise and movement are pulse.

Cleaning is the stroking of a room.

Pipes are veins and circuits are nerves.

Paint is the complexion of a room.

Steps and arches are the pride of a room and most curves show balance.

Corners and shadows hold the memory of a room.

A ticking clock puts a room in tune and

A ringing telephone is cacophony.

Rooms have longer life spans than people.

A cuckoo clock expresses the humor of a room.

Most rooms like alcohol and get hangovers.

Rooms compete for attention.

When you sleep in a room, you wake with some knowledge of it.

Rooms without widows are more sensitive to sound.

Dampness is the depression of a room.

Rooms contribute to their own temperature.

Sterile rooms are mute.

In the depth of a wall, where does a new room begin?

A room is aware of its secret places.

Rugs and furniture are the makeup of a room and rooms cry after them.

The voice of a room can intensify the air and speak telepathically.

When people leave, rooms attract other inhabitants.

Rooms are afraid of the wind.

A room is a natural thing.
