Graceful punch through wall

Thick white goop bury the hole,

Concealing anger.


How many holes could it have taken for someone to create Spackle? A young man working in Bayonne, New Jersey on a cold winter in 1927. After a stressful day, he takes out his anger on his bedroom wall. Holes like a beehive surround him. He mixed dry powder and water. Spread it on the holes. 100 years later, hole-punchers world-wide are saved by thick white goop.
