passing through god knows which hole ???
I watched the group of 33 scatter to different points of the reservoir where they let themselves sink to the ground. Dragging their backs down over the wall, they squatted and sat. Only one remained standing. A young man, the frame of his glasses broken passing through god knows which hole and taped in the middle. He caught my eye. He raised his index finger the way I once had in school to ask permission to speak and said:

Regarding " passing through god knows which hole " , I would like to know does it mean "the broken frame might stick the young man's eyes, nostrils...."? Thanks.
