4a
– Torqued Moments of Distance
Lights flicker,
creating the illusion of subtle movement in a debris strewn hall.
Papers in crumpled piles dot the checkered floor tiles, desks
overturned to form barriers, chairs broken and blackened mark spots
where fires had burned. Bare walls, colored yellow and water stained,
cracked plaster dusting the tiles. Walls, floors, and ceilings
corkscrew away from the entrance in sudden turns, gravity staying
with the checkered path. Lights flicker is succession down the hall,
making it seem to visibly stretch as the light moves away. Moving
down the hallway, the perception of time vacillates between extremes
of brevity and magnitude. Each step is juddering, an uncertain stride
that may cover yards of space or a modicum of inches. It all ends
after prolonged moments of travel, the terminus a metal hatch at the
foot of solid stairs.
