Malmö/Sweden, Week 50, 2011 

Oh Sophy! Why must you be so illegible sometimes?
You are raised by your patrilineage history….
Where is your feminine side?…
You are not just mind, but also body…
Was Philo either loving or hating you and therefore?…
I am still getting to know you bit by bit…
You are reality and you exist, but isn’t your knowledge one-sided maybe?…
You give me the light in my eyes at times…
You come from such rich bloodline, can you fecund my soil please?…
You told me that when I hear myself thinking it must mean I exist….
Oh speculum you, today I am the other…?
