The real estate agent has shown the kitchen and now enters the main bedroom and begins to explain the latest modifications. The speaker is not at the moment aware of the agentโs speech. Instead the speakerโs attention is caught by the closet which is opened.
Speaker: (Interrupting the agent) You know, save for the musky odor And dust collecting on the top shelf, The closet, back in my momโs house The one in what was my room, Is bare. I always strained to keep the door shut With all of my belongings pressing โgainst it. Its bare now. No trace of what once resided in there. Just bare.
Real Estate Agent: Well, this closet is the biggest in the house so there is no need to worry about an overabundance of belongings.
Speaker: (Smiles) It might be hard to believe But I longer need A closet.
