he describes himself as someone who, in kierkegaard's words in upbuilding discourses, is in the process of discovering himself; a process that requires stepping out of the ego-boat and swimming around, trying to become at home in the currents and convections and tides that are uniquely his: while the ego is constructed in response to an other, the true material of the self is beyond the gaze of approbation or disapproval where society is distilled into the super-ego. This doesn't preclude interaction with others so much as interacting from a more accurate standpoint with actually firmer boundaries - the paradox of constructing the strong ego is that the boundaries between himself and another are mostly non-existent - this is the source of personal frustration as projected onto the driver in front in the way
he describes himself as on a boat composed of green stems navigating an ocean on the sun
he describes himself as a trebuchet, a fossil diorama, and instructions for zeppelin navigation walking into a bar - on little cat feet, pausing over the city; they order drinks from the horse-faced bar tender here, and move to a table
he describes himself as an eye, a pure scopic drive - what if the whole body were an eye? fantastic, like some pipilotti rist video, moving inside and out, within without
he describes himself as continuing to be
he describes himself as booksih, brainy, innately curious, querying, quavering, quelling, quaffing, chorusing, carousing, carouselling, capering, cavorting, traipsing, going on, ad infinitum, subtracting fi night'em, scouring, scoring, scaling, lapsing, collapsing, dislapsing, singing, singeing, sequeing, sequentialling, initializing, authorizing, authoring, mothering, mouthing err, herring boning, hounds toothing - all in the line of duty, the circle of responsibility, the trapezoid of probity, the trilateral of commissioning
he describes himself as a whirlwind competition, a leg up, a down trodden, a miss begotten, amiss bee gothic tin, an ape aping apiaries, a voice from the future, a face from the pass, a lone a love a river run
he describes himself as not really here, abandoned in place as a child and raised by Das Nichtige, only occasionally being noticed if "something's wrong", otherwise, disposable, interchangeable, negligible, left to narcissism, shame and anger, except when convenient to notice or speak to: classic
he describes himself as a bit nonplussed by Halloween, unlike his friend, Gaye Dimmick, who thrives on the festivities and occult jocularity. He's glad for his friends.
he describes himself as a self-unfulfilling prophecy
he describes himself as someone needing calm
he describes himself as an ancient skeleton, long buried in river silt, finally breaking free of the fabricated remainders of life, and, surrendered to tide and current, finding release into the sea
