SCENE: far from a home, i begin in its stomach. awake now, i move among the bounds of the hollow room and turn to ease the door closed. there is no door. after a moment stumbles in confusion, i turn about again, facing an aperture that seems to have grown on me more than before. there have been no walls. there is no floor. how then, you ask, am i standing? i do not stand; i, simply, am not. the aperture eyes me intensely; we see each other as reflections of ourselves.

ah, now you understand.

i am the door.
