A Room For Living
While growing up I always peered into the living rooms of others Glowing yellow with ceiling lamps. I always wondered, what did they do in there? Inside buildings and bungalows, A designated room for living with no fluorescent tube-lights Seemed rich and unnecessary. What did they speak about? Was the TV playing foreign films? Was there laughter too? Did they worry when it rained or sat by the window to see it with a cup of tea and a book. Was there a couch with an ottoman of course, and a teapoy on a rug A rocking chair too maybe? Is that what one calls cosy?
