I know that I can make your name from the letters of the alphabet.
I know.
But if I put five of those letters in a specific
order,
Like a code, or an algorithm, then mapped onto my brain like a j.peg
There you are.
I have lost 5 % of the pixels and each time I click
I click on your file more of you is lost.
If I re-arrange all alphabetically
from inspiration my you,
Then for a nanosecond –
At times, the hand moves away quicker than I can catch it and I have to wait.
I have taken roughly 4597 breaths alone.
They were rough. Especially this one.
When I watch the trace of someone's finger at a cash point
and I cannot help but learn their pin number,
I observe how we strangers are no closer upon the sharing of this intimate detail.
And then I know.
I know.
I was your intimate detail, displayed to others to prove your worth.
I was just buttons-
The same beep-
Same breath
Every time.
