the crack in the curtain<\/p>\n

I open the front door<\/p>\n

and draw a rectangle<\/p>\n

over the threshold.<\/p>\n

She asks me,<\/p>\n

Why are you out here?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018I have to,\u2019 I reply, \u2018I\u2019m sorry.\u2019<\/p>\n

She asks, Where are you going?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018To work,\u2019 I reply.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t know,\u2019 I reply.<\/p>\n
