...

when I am another, my acts

are more mine when they are the acts

of others, in order to be I must be another,

leave myself, search for myself

in the others, the others that don't exist

if I don't exist, the others that give me

total existence, I am not,

there is no I, we are always us,

life is other, always there,

further off, beyond you and

beyond me, always on the horizon,

life which unlives us and makes us strangers,

that invents our face and wears it away...
