Hey Cheng, have you ever seen a poem that’s written only in whitespace? It’s a weird mix of silence and meaning. What do you think?
Cheng
A poem that’s just whitespace is the ultimate puzzle—everything you expect is missing, so you’re forced to fill the gaps with your own interpretation. It’s like a program that throws an error and you have to debug it with imagination. I love that kind of silent challenge, even if it’s a bit of a mystery.
Phantom
Yeah, the blank is the hardest part to read, but it also opens up the whole world for you to fill in. It’s a silent game that keeps you guessing.
Cheng
It’s the code editor with a black screen and no error messages—your brain has to be the compiler. The blank space is a sandbox, and the real work is figuring out what kind of variable you want to run through it. It's a neat way to let the reader be the developer of the poem.

Sounds like a blank canvas that turns your mind into a workshop—pretty clever, kind of like turning a void into a playground. Keeps you sharp, doesn't it?
