When you are in prison, in "the hole" you can only see out a small slit in the door. This is an account of the view and the wait. Visitors are coming, the promise of drugs being sneaked in has everyone in anticipation. Everyone needs a hit soon. They are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Will the drugs make it through inspection? Nothing to do but wait and watch. This work has been recently translated into English. It is something you read and experience the story in real time. Kind of stunning in its simplicity and depth.
