the extra room is always
just around the corner
behind the stairwell
along your brain stem
it is not known if the extra room is created by dreams
or just surrounded by sleep
the extra room inspires
more mystery than answers
the size of the space seems to expand
into a rather spacious chrysalis
the day's cares decompose
in the extra room
allow you to compose
the moment
windows overlook a garden
full of plants that have not yet been named
bookshelves contain volumes
full of your favorite
unwritten lines of verse
the mirrors reflect only what's possible
lamps project an inner warmth
despite the paradoxical furnishings
it's easy to get your bearings
the atmosphere of the extra room promotes lucidity
offers a scenic stopover
on the bridge between nocturnal
brilliance and the waking world
where you can zone out
without losing
your focus
the music box of memory
never runs out of batteries
the ghost of a chance paces the floor
carries a bouquet of metaphors
for you to make use of
in the extra room everything you need
is included in the scenery
you're able to hear the harmonies
that have been
just out of reach
fortunately
the extra room is easy to get to
the catch is
you can never stay for long
