Autobio       6 Lines



 The 6 lines beneath this note have no title
 other than the possibililty of letting them be
 entitled "While Reading a Review" as it was
 then they came to me.  The review was of
 an anthology of British poets.  It may have
 been written by Andrew Duncan, but I am
 not sure of that.  The online page it is on is
 identified as ae162, the "ae" meaning Angel
 Exhaust magazine.  I placed three comments
 from it in the notebook I am presently using.
 The last is:

   "The idea that language does anything
   on its own is poorly founded; the pro-
   ject of investigating language without 
   investigating people and their behaviour
   towards each other is short-term and
   self-defeating."

       I am a nothing
       who never was,
       and never will be.

       If you want
       to see what death is,
       visit me.
