i don't really see people
sometimes i'll look at someone
and interpret their vibes
and i'll go
"that's a fvckin cat.
that's a cat pretending to be a person if i've ever seen one"
and the shell just kinda melts away
and they become the sum of what they have to say
and all the little things they do
sure, the painted exterior might be appreciable
but it's much fuzzier than the way they tonate sentences and how long they hesitate
i can imagine their posture and perfect timing of their walk sequence
but i look up and their details have been lost as if via jpeg compression
i'll go back in and manually carve details back in
and i zoom out and they are lost again
i don't really see people
