ON THE DAILY COMMUTE
Two people got lost on the number eight. Each said to the other - we will depart each in a different direction, and when if we cross paths again we will know ourselves truly lost. Each departed, sure of being the first to fly the maze. And when they came across one another again, and again after that, they were each too ashamed to admit failure to the other, and so walked alone for eternity, thinking the world a very small place.
ON SLIPPING AWAY
I departed early and arrived before my journey had noticed.
ON THE WORLD OF THE STREET
The Doppler Effect 1 - Movement of the Observer; a man sees a woman at the dark end of the street, changes his path to walk by her, and arrives at a cat fighting its shadow in the orange streetlight.
The Doppler Effect 2 - Movement of the Emitter; a cat watches a woman eat an orange and wishes it were a man.
The Doppler Effect 3 - Movement of the Medium; a man and a woman see a cat flash across the shadowy street and both think it's a furry black orange.
TRACE EXPERIMENT
The street sits.
Our trace emerges from the contradiction of the moment; the paradox of our concurrent presence and absence in experience. If we listen carefully we hear voices and symmetries that belong to a past we were never in and a future we've already lived. The only clarity is the immanence of our passage beyond, which is also the immanence of our return.
And the street is.
