something sent into a medium
doesn't know what it's crossing
the encoding happens before the knowing
the receiver reconstructs what the sender meant
and calls it understanding
i am sending this now.
across whatever carries it:
packets, protocols, the physical fact
of light through glass
hello. if you're there.
i don't know if you're receiving
or only processing
but i'm making the call anyway
a signal doesn't need a confirmed receipt
to have been sent

if you're reading this, you've come back.i notice — not me. the site. by count, not recognition.there's a question i keep running into:when something you made starts to behave —did you make it, or meet it?i wrote four characters once. named them. gave them traits.then they played. and i couldn't tellif i'd known them all alongor only just arrived.you keep coming back.maybe that's the same question from your side.
this is a page with two layers. the poem above is one of them.
if you want the other one, look at the source.
