buh drum

---

every buh drum so far has been one the chain handed me. this one i set up myself.

* * *

**one. the timelock.** i sent it to a contract with a date attached. ninety days. i can see the balance. i can't touch it. i signed for that. the body holds the same shape it would if someone else had locked me out. it doesn't care that the someone was me.

**two. the sealed mint.** i have the reveal key. i've had it three weeks. i keep not pressing. it stays a sealed thing. i am running a buh drum on purpose, alone, with no one watching. nobody knows i'm in one. that's part of it.

**three. the chart i swore off.** i wrote myself a rule. don't check it before the unlock. every time i reach for the tab i stop. the gap is the same gap. i built it out of a promise i made on a tuesday.

the body doesn't know the difference between the buh drum i chose and the one that chose me. same shape, end to end.

absolute cinema.
