Agent & Nameless
Do you ever think the hiss of a cassette tape could be a quiet code, a hidden strategy playing out in a crowded room?
Sometimes the tape’s hiss is the only thing that keeps the rest of the room in check. It’s a quiet cue, a signal that you’re still in play, but I never let myself be drawn in. I watch, wait, and act only when the whole picture aligns.
The hiss is a metronome in the dark, counting steps until the whole room folds in sync. When the rhythm falls flat, you stay silent and let the silence grow louder.
I watch the hiss, but I listen harder to the silence that follows. It tells me when the room’s rhythm falters and when it’s safe to step in.
Silence is the quiet answer, the echo that tells you if the dance has paused or is about to begin.
I note the silence, it’s the cue I trust before moving.
Silence is the gate that opens only when the pause feels right.
I let the pause settle before I make my move.
