This is a Picture of Language Sat Apr 5 20:48:19 EST 2003 Thomas Zummer Time-Date-Stamp today, extending frome some remote past--the past of each. origin a wavring spread, a 'cloud,' that is a permeable field, but one with an inexact terminus; consider the future in like manner, the world that we have come into; surprising then that we am so small and distant, and lied to, for we am the witness to the death of the public. First god. (N) Then Man (F). Then what we thought were we (0).Opacity is the first thing that comes to mind, a dark mass co-opted into an allegory--a decidedly archaic trope--as if saying something unsayable is a way to say something eles. An impossible allegory, the ruin, an impossibility of another sort: LoveI don't have to. Such death describes--un-writes--itself, far more that I could ever do.no no no the breath of the tomb is outsidenoI offer this proofthe promissory, a standing wave, andno no nono destroying, is the act--my act--of writing Sat Apr 5 20:58:32 EST 2003 ===
