Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Despite the variations of what constitutes a 'box' or a 'pod' (think Japanese industrial business hotel), this is a neat contraption.

I like the 'Hostel Edition' as well.

Just how soundproof? That's the real question. Airports can be loud, obnoxious places. Oh, and I've slept the night at the airport. It wasn't fun.
