"The closer one looks,
the more complex the boundary
becomes between the areas of
reflection and transparency.

There appears in the border
a fuzzy disjoint fractal
between a bright sharp image
of houses across the canal,
and the fragmented view of
the dim interior compounded
with highlights from the
sky and rear windows."
