I am a piano - now silent.
I am pews, I am an exit sign, I am curtains.
I am grass and trees (outside the window).
I am obscured.
I am floorboards, carpet, desks.
I am window sills. I am backpacks.
I am a glass of water.
I am a white ceiling, balcony.
I am a light switch.
I am paper, this paper, words on a page.
