BODY.QUEUE — touch does not arrive on time. these limbs don’t embrace  — they remain: buffered, delayed, never simultaneous, just syncopated.

      Curatorial Note
    BODY.QUEUE prints two mirrored forms caught in recursive hold—capturing the body not as climax, but as condition. This isn’t simultaneity—it’s system sync. Rendered in dot-matrix ASCII, the image holds a slowed-down haptic: flesh frozen mid-frame, sensation stretched to breaking—what’s depicted isn’t contact, but its residue.
This isn’t symmetry for beauty—it’s system logic: a code loop where touch restarts before completion. This isn’t presence—it’s a pending process, still unresolved.
