Uncomfortable bed and my body ached
I focused on the ceiling instead

Brief breath of boredom marched in my mind
but then the ceiling started to  - melt

Fascinated I observed
its movements.
Like pudding, quite wobbly
the ceiling has moved
up

My horror grew.
The light bulb went out.

I jumped to the floor
escaping outside,
observing my maddening house

Like vertical tunnel
it stretched towards stars
and stopped halfway to the clouds

All neighbours approached me
in shock and confusion
demanding a rational conclusion

I had none.

The next day I built in new lamps
on side walls;
And lay on my old mentioned bed.

Is this house alive?
Did it just strive to reach the stars
as humans occasionally do?

I am not sure,
so I'd rather sell
this twilight zone building to you.
this was amusing to write :)
