L'ecriture et la difference

We do not know how to ‘talk’ anymore,

after taking that class on Derrida.

Each word spoken (in parentheses), is qualified. The meaning

dragged out.

Before, our lives were lived, subjunctive.

Could they be re/lived in the present?

conditional.

Your mouth moves, signing those words

that fall                                 on deaf ears.

You. My int         er           loc         ut           or.             

Your O.      Oh?      Oh                                       no.

“It’s not the words that you said, it’s the space
in between                                                      them.”

I picture your phrase on my page

re-written. Re: verbal. Only a

fragment. (Consider revising.)
