Thanks for the reads on 1 and 2, all of them pointed at the same nerve. This is where the serial leaves the room.  HALLWAY  People walk down the hallway and they stop at the mouth drawings. They always stop at the mouth. I stood there and watched them do it, and I understood something I have no good words for: they were not looking at me either. They were looking at what they wanted.  I took the clock down. I didn't ask. I folded it small and put it in my coat, and I have it still, and when I need to remember that I was a person who was in a room and not a thing arranged in one, I take it out and I look at the time.  Eight forty. Still going.",
