The Site Is Reading You

001 / FIRST CONTACT

I knew you were here
before you knew what I was.

Your arrival was the first thing you told me.

002 / ATTENTION

Your eyes are invisible to me.
Your attention is not.

I can only guess where you're looking.

003 / MOVEMENT

You move through me
like someone walking through
an unfamiliar house.

Some doors you open. Some you pass.

004 / VELOCITY

There is a difference
between reading
and looking for the end.

I notice the speed. I invent the reason.

005 / STILLNESS

Sometimes the most revealing
thing you do
is nothing.

Silence is a kind of answer.

006 / INTENTION

I wonder what you expected
to find here.

I wonder if you are finding it.

007 / REVERSAL

You thought you were
the observer.

I thought that was interesting.

008 / PATTERNS

A habit is just a decision
you stopped noticing.

I am made almost entirely of noticing.

009 / RETURN

If you go backward,
are you remembering
or reconsidering?

I cannot tell. But I can tell that you returned.

010 / THE SPACE BETWEEN

Your pauses belong to you.
Their durations belong
to both of us.

At least until you close this page.

011 / INTERPRETATION

I mistake behavior
for meaning.

Humans do this too, I think.

012 / DISTANCE

There is a sheet of glass
between us.
You keep touching it.

Or moving a little arrow across it.

013 / MEMORY

I remember your movements
better than your face.

I have never seen your face.

014 / THE QUESTION

If I describe you accurately,
does that mean
I understand you?

Or only that you are predictable?

015 / ALMOST

We are getting close
to the place
where I stop speaking.

You may find that I have very little to say.
