The narrow corridor
formed: a corridor,
narrow minded. This corridor,
stretches—
wall to wall portraits of cranial
landscape. Psychological nature…
vertigo, insomnia, suffered
violent attack of claustrophobia:
enclosed, suffocating, darkness does
not allow him to perceive
limits of space. He can
see the familiar, calming
mass of papers. Shrug off
disquieting feeling of presence
surrounding, terror of hidden,
unknown. End
of corridor, face-to-face
with the wall. He stopped
being, now he is
very young—
a child who hates
sleep. Arms out,
touching skull bones
under pressure inside,
looking out.
