_**Teaser**_

_Nothing_

The clean white tiled room with miniscule prints
 Smelling of a fragranced disinfectant
Shiny pieces of metal, artificial flowers The television blazing in full volume 
My hand on the remote zapping Mind wondering The rays of the noon sun Trying to 
piece through the thick curtains The cushion beneath Comforting the drowsy eyes 
I sleep away dreaming of the serene air Green pastures, sparkling rainbow Captured
between the four walls Mind wanders, here and there, this and that.
