My Shadow Got There First
Kevin Steffensen
Mississippi Delta blues haunted by lo-fi chiptune: a predictive shadow sits in your chair, knows your trail and purchases, and still never learned your walk.
Resonator slide answered by intrusive eight-bit phrases literalizes stale representation—the profile that arrives first and wears your name.
Resonator slide answered by intrusive eight-bit phrases literalizes stale representation—the profile that arrives first and wears your name. What We Cannot See and compression-loses-the-person are strongest: a man is not only the footsteps somebody gathered in. Machine-perspective fits the digital double without forcing a sci-fi novel link; bias appears in “I know your kind” from the trail alone. Save one chair for the stranger you have not calculated for. Keep weaker tech-allegory book ties flagged for human review rather than inflated into primary mappings.
