I = 9
She = Shih
You = you. You = me. whoever the message was intended for, whoever the message intended.
When I write as I, it is as a conduit for 9. When I write about She, I’m laughing about the duality of words. When I write to you, I don’t know who you are until you know. Or I know. Whichever comes first.
A stranger once said, he felt like when I was talking to him, I was talking on two levels–whatever we were actually talking about in conversation, and a level where I seemed to know everything about him, and was speaking to the part that held all the things he’d never shared.
I appreciated that reflection.
