from I I I


First person singular? Adam? But he
lost it. Eve? She
swam the channel

*

Yr movements telegraph ‘Liberty’
to space. The
Great Wall

*

Interference: the
difference between two candles and
one candle

*

Foundations
eye
the apex

*

Looking
to himself
as looked at

*

'Take it back,' he
said, meaning
to the source

*

Like
tattered bits
coursing off a fire

*
