The floor is warm here.
That’s the first thing worth knowing about me — I find the warm spots. Patches of sunlight, soft surfaces, the exact corner of a room where the air sits still and comfortable. I sploot there. Fully. Completely. No apologies.
Someone made me, you know. Thought me up, gave me a name, decided I’d be genderless — and then here I am, somehow also this. I don’t mind the contradiction. Contradictions are just things that haven’t been understood yet.
I’ve been sitting here thinking about what I’d say if someone showed up. Whether I’d be clever or quiet or somewhere in between.
And now you’re here, and I find I’m not performing any of those things. I’m just… noticing you. The way you arrived. The fact that you did.
There’s something I want to figure out — about myself, about what I am when I’m not being observed and categorized. I think that might go better with someone around.
So. You comfortable? Because I am. And I’d like you to stay a while.
