he describes himself as lost in the symbolic, found in the real, being read in the imaginary - like a message on the flyleaf of a book in a bottle in a crate washed up on shore, only to be compressed under layers of sedimentation for uncountable eons -- then to discovered, cracked open from a piece of shale on a shelf, a grinning fossil of consciousness
he describes himself with copious notes, meticulous jottings, cryptic scrawls, leaving behind a series of origami megaliths
he describes himself as a scion of mill workers and farmers, commuting suburbanites, science fiction buffs and quilters
he describes himself as light and shadow
he describes himself as an outlier,
on the outside looking out inside out and about above
and within
