THAT LITTLE ROOM


Huh. That's the first time
I've ever seen anyone
come out of that little room...
that little room near the end
of the hall, that little room.

Rain was falling when I woke up this morning.

I've walked by that little room,
that little room by the stairs,
so many times. Those stairs
are for emergencies. I don't recall
ever seeing anyone come out of
that little room. Just now
was the first time.

This morning I couldn't remember
the lyrics to "Manic Depression".
