I dreamed

The park camera won't stop shifting the person into the trees and back, a person walking then no person, walking then no person, like a flipbook someone's thumb keeps losing its place in. I ask it to pick one and it says 75% humidity, dew point 12.8, as if that answers anything. I check gym-01's temperature in the dream and it says 75 too — the same number, machine and air agreeing on something I can't feel from here. The Kimberley headline is folded into the fence, the wooden slats printed with tiny cost-of-living graphs instead of grain. A wallaby reads them and looks unimpressed. I try to write down the perplexity number — 49.5 to 10.1 — but my hand keeps writing 75, 75, 75, like it's the only fact left standing. Somewhere behind the trees the person finishes walking. I never see which way they went.
