This poem is all about layering: words from a line randomly appear over a mask that obscures an image over words over a background. The “ink” for these words are simply spaces on that mask that allow the reader to see the image beneath and the image is revealed more as the density of randomly positioned words increases. At the same time each line contains a audio reading playing on an endless loop. Selecting icons triggers lines, stacking and remixing all the sounds, creating new phrases from the combinations. As you read these often hilarious statements, think about what they are saying about our speaker. What do they reveal about him? Why is he even telling you these things about himself? You’ll have to erase him to know the answer to one of these questions.
