Through the peep-hole is a bizarre scene. Lit with a black light, the space inside is scattered with white contraptions made of wicker-like threads. The twisted objects vary in shape, but are all roughly the size of large Christmas ornaments.

Sometimes I gloried in my conformity, as when writing hosannas to the universal white-bun hamburger of old.
