Description of A Room
The floor is pale and yet full of texture. A rug covers the floor in need of a stretching. In
an array of gloss and semi-gloss, shades of pale blue cover three of the four walls and their
baseboards speckled only by an occasional paint chip or faded fingerprint. Entire sections are
hidden by photographs of varying sizes and of varying content, most expressing various political
ideas, or taste in music. Shelves protrude from a wall adjacent to the door, topped by a number
of knickknacks and decorative accessories. Yet nothing obscures the blueness of these walls
quite as magnificently as the furnishings which fill the room.
Standing at the doorway looking inwards, I see the birch wood framed futon bed directly
across from me against the far wall. It?s sheets and blankets are ruffled and in dire need of being
straightened. A plethora of pillows, different shapes and each one with its own, unique pattern
rests atop the pale green sheets. This color forms a pleasant matching contrast with the darker
green that plainly compromises the coloring of the bedspread. Yet at one corner, I see my sheet
