he is born and I am undone—feel as if I will / never be, was never born. // Two years later I obliterate myself again / having another child … for two years, there’s no me here.
“Look here, being intelligible is not what it seems. You mean by understanding that you can talk about it in the way that you have a habit of talking – putting it into other words. But I mean by understanding enjoyment… If you enjoy it you understand it… If you did not enjoy it, why do you make a fuss about it?”
Gertrude Stein
