The Only Room

My life has been a period of pacing,
long walks of broken circles
in the antechamber of human potential.
A Spartan room with a single lamp,
with wattage fit only to cast dim shadows across the walls
I stare into these walls
as if my existence is the center of a vast mosaic,
too massive to ever yield it’s meaning,
until I pace out of this room,
out of the numb gray habits
that have become my world.
There is a spot on my brain,
which some have said it the true resting place
of the human soul,
but it is dormant,
devoid of the electrical impulses
that move my limbs,
open my mouth
let words exit the dark tunnels of the mind,
into the invisible reality of their sounds
This speck, lay like a pilot light,
the dry kindling of the modern world,
waiting for the electrical embrace of lightning to set it alight

English teachers = cool creatures.
That's awesome -- you're going to get a degree, teach, and travel
I've read a lot about classic Japanese arts as in haiku, ikebana, and the tea ceremony. What inspired you to live in Japan for a year?

To be honest my knowledge of Jappanese culture is far from extensive, and I don't speak Jappanese, but since I've done a little bit of travelling in Europe I wanted to get out to the far east for a while. Most programs in Japan pay very well and don't require you to speak jappanese because they begin learning english at a very young age, so most are fluent by their teens.
