every other buh drum is a response. this one is a forecast.

one. the flicker. i open the wallet before the candle moves. by the time the page loads, the candle has moved. i did not see the tick. i felt it. the chart confirms what my chest already knew. the body is the first oracle. etherscan is the second.

buh drum.

two. 02:11. i set the phone face-down. i know it will buzz. i don't know who. i don't know what. i know it will buzz. four minutes later it buzzes. somebody from the group chat wanted to know if i saw it. i did not see it. i was waiting for it.

buh drum.

three. the pending. i sign the transaction and my shoulders drop a second before metamask paints the red. the rpc hasn't even answered. my body already knows the gas was wrong. the screen catches up. the body never had to.

buh drum.

the body knows first. the chain is the receipt. you don't read it for news. you read it for confirmation.

absolute cinema.
