hiss

I write from deep beneath the Antartic Ocean.
I hope this postcard reaches you.
I give it to a traveler who heads for the surface.
Here the sounds of ice and waterjets give dimension Floating on hiss I remain

20,000 bees

Naked

I.

First person pronoun which refers to a particular type of operator in the context of a sentence. I, who is necessarily a fiction, who necessarily drops away leaving a determinate negativity behind that you, who is Other, who is the not-I reading this, fill in with projections shaped in part by the characteristics of the sentences and in part by your own imagination. I advance disassembled and naked.

The story of your relationship to the I in a sentence is the first story.
