The Reason Why The Closet-Man Is Never Sad Poem by Russell Edson

The Reason Why The Closet-Man Is Never Sad

Rating: 5.0


This is the house of the closet-man. There are no rooms,
just hallways and closets.
Things happen in rooms. He does not like things to
happen . . . Closets, you take things out of closets,
you put things into closets, and nothing happens . . .

Why do you have such a strange house?

I am the closet-man, I am either going or coming, and I
am never sad.

But why do you have such a strange house?

I am never sad . . .
