she leaned into the static and the static whispered something almost human back
#1 / 6

two profiles,
split by a scanline seam.
green skin in phosphor light,
pink cloud in composite delay.
self.channel = "left"
other.channel = "right"
signal.bridge("noise", "breath")

their eyes meet through field sync.
words dissolve in chroma crawl.
meaning = voltage fluctuation.
"we are speaking in formats,"
she almost said.
lips rendered in carrier wave.
hair in vertical drift.
the background refuses to be background.
let dialogue = encode("feeling", "VHS ghost")

every pause a frame loss.
every silence a feedback loop.
