Vociferate: Glimpse.

people come and go so quickly, at just a blink of the eye they're gone.

i noticed this as i was doing work in studioland. people walk along the pathways between facing spaces and go about the bend in a flash. whenever i juz lose focus on the subject, he or she tends to just disappear in a snap. someone leaves and i run up to catch hold of them, but i lose grip- there's no one to be found. it is as if they have the power to teleport, or have a pocket time machine at hand that opens doors to uncertain realms which they enter and bid farewell to us.

sometimes i juz go deeper into Wanyi's space to pick up a fallen eraser or search for tape and i'll go missing for a second- i disappear too to those who frequent the bend and are familiar with my usual seat.

Occasionally when i'm gone for a second, a container appears out of the blue, and my phone coincidentally lands on top of it. and i smile.
