    An orderly took me to t ed doors.  to carry me because I could scarcely h. his eyes were feral, wild, scarcely human.

    But le ted as o tion of forms, ends to erode my sense of being by equipping me iplicity of beings, so t I confound myself s, presents and futures.

    I am eroding, I am roked as smootone is by ts t  to make up my uniqueness fall apart as apes of my memory and makes itutions. For, if my first capture incorporates  ruins t do not yet exist and my second capture resonates oo many ec  moving capture migulate a Middle-European nigold me by a complete stranger during train journey. For sometimes I cannot believe Ive suffered so much.

    If only I could remember everytly, just as it  burden of my past, I should be free.

    Noogetituted and played back so many times my memory is not a palimpsest of possibilities and probabilities, ts  rid me of and terestingly enoug tones; no. to in a still sky all ts of  a moutain kinds of eyes, t, once seen, can never be forgotten.

Our disembodied voices rustle like dead leaves and sometimes retc our o toucly, to lay a finger on one anoto assure ourselves a voice issues from t aperture. Like drifting cobantial caresses linger for a moment upon our skins. e manifest ourselves in a gly fas already soms of toms of ttle to cates of limbo.

    Nevertain precious mnemonics. A  a mout a face. As long as I retain t any kind of context for ts dissolving p me as muc afraid of encountering Deaton in tte of ts something.

    As I lie in tructed out of memory, I begin to perceive some element of paranoia in t kno I c of my clae.

    I cannot tell you  inexpressible relief I greeted tisation, not of a memory, but of an inter-connection t made some sense in my pligo me. It o ttered promiscuously on to pick out my oo my  and feel to it. Or pull out my moto my os, whey belong.
