now i am here

[Alan Sondheim]

now i am here
"no, i am not here"
"X i am here now"
yes yes yes

it is such a game to play
"i am here and i am not here"
i am virtual here now this is a virtual letter: X
or a real letter; that was my left-hand-ring-finger
"speaking" of the X and please note
this tired conceptualism is the oldest trick in the book
if one begins the book in 1973
everyone in 1973 is already dead
1973 culture is already dead
but "i am here now XXX" and typing this
right now. as you read this. now.
