burn them down

they keep them there, behind stone walls. 

they lock the doors at night. 

sunlight is not allowed. 

there are small boxes that monitor the humidity. 

the walls are white and smooth without shadows. 

the floors are silent. 

the people are small and huddle and whisper. 

do not touch. 

there are no clocks.

what time is it?

you have to be really important to have your work displayed here. 

anyone can come and look. 

they will kill you if you try to take one. 

that’s ok. 

i don’t want one anyway.
