there was a chamber where you'd go to become angry as one 

goes to the baths to be clean and relax or to a rodeo or to a thriller

they say it was the geography the minerals the even more ancient

rites that drew anger from you rage self-righteousness rites 

carefully administered pilgrim centered generously guided

some soldiers found their peace this way unless they hadn't 

yet known war and in those cases they invariably went to find it

but now they're building them everywhere and some of us

never leave learn to exist symbiotically with the chambers pull

others into the chambers and start to refer to the chambers as 

an ecosystem although no one in the chambers takes that 

metaphor seriously or even questions their own presence in the

chambers unless it is to riff on that in the chambers and perhaps

create a new chamber that specifically rages against the 

chambers
