Philip

Philip is walking. This much you now know for sure, that Philip is walking. You may think you know other things about Philip. You may know that he is handsome, dark and tall, or dull, fair and short, or any permutations thereof. You may know that he is walking in a street, or in the country, or along a beach. But what if then you were told that he were walking weighted underwater, or on a tightrope? What do you know about Philip besides the six letters of his first name and that he is walking? Does it seem aggressive, belligerent to be told that you don't know Philip at all? Do you feel robbed of the voyeur's privilege, knowing more about him than he could about you, or disappointed at losing the illusion that you were a voyeur at all - that in knowing Philip you know less than you know. Now, let's not ask where Philip is walking, that scrolling and transient background will evade our ever knowing at all, but ask where is he walking to?
