Imprisoned In A Room That Opens Inwards Poem by gershon hepner
Imprisoned In A Room That Opens Inwards
A man may be imprisoned in a room
that opens inwards: it will be his tomb
if he keeps pushing. When our heads are full
of nonsense, thoughts are teeth we have to pull.
Inspired by a saying of Wittgenstein:
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push (“Culture and Value, ” 42e) .
