as if an angry fist clenched &

smashed into a window that did

not shatter, but instead

spider-webbed, each broken

streak cuts through & though

this person does not function as

if s/he were more than one roaming

round inside that head, s/he is

able to divide up the house into

individual rooms with

individual doors & individual

locks---one who walks from room

to room inside, need not converse

about what might be happening or

what has been kept in storage

times---the person, the house, acts

with a oneness of the exterior,

giving unique attributes to each

room, giving unique guidelines as

to how to act when standing in any

of the rooms & none of the rules are

the same, just as none of the rooms

resemble the others.
