Claustrophobia

A tiny man with tiny hands
stands in an empty room.
He tries to make a mundane mural
to fill the simple space.
The colors swirl in cosmic shapes,
then the walls close in on him.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

I'm thinking Rob Brydon and small man in a box.
Nice first and last lines.

I like the way the meter fell apart - seemed to mimic the feelings of the trapped man.
