9th letter

22 Nov 2021

Is “I” an univocal term? No matter when or how I say “i,” it means oversleeping and unpaired socks. Except being the 9th letter of the English alphabet, “I” enjoys making love, singing loudly and remembering random quotes. “I” cannot write poetry sober, drinks too much and gets angry. “I” has a crack between its thighs that it repeatedly tries to stitch. “I” cries in pain and makes stupid decisions. “I” sometimes wishes to be something else but is too scared of change. “I” searches. It has multiple voices. “I” is not univocal.
