+
+i sit in my *house*. my *home*. my little corner of reality. i have everything i use on a daily basis here, i have all of my things. its comfy and its mine.
+
+i decide i wanna talk to my friend lunar, so i go to my window, and i send out a bunch of numbers. they fly to his house, say they're from me, tell him what i want. later lunar sends back his own numbers:
+
+> "howdy chief"
+
+we go like back and forth like this all night.
+
+### interlude
+
+i need some code. i send some numbers to my other room, the one across the world. they take my key and get in the front door, and send back my old things.
+
+these things? they're just numbers.
+
+numbers and logic and magic, creations of my own, spurred on by thousands of conversations, numbers sent out, blips in the dark.
+
+### interlude
+
+and all night and all day we send out our numbers, our blips
+
+we seek those like us
+
+we shape our identity, our unique series of blips and bloops
+
+we live on as long as we're heard, as long as we get numbers back.
+
+thats all we can do
+
+thats all we want
+
+lets all love lain.
