Trauma as a Floating Signifier

It makes sense to shatter all reflective surfaces.I am incapable of emitting anything.

This explains why I felt like a blank slateall those years. Empty signifierfull of oomph and mana.

Narrative choices haven’t been choices.How many children do you knowwho can make up their mind?Can anyone make up a mind?

I have been the contamination story.I have been un-generative.I have been less drivento contribute to society.

I have made the obscene a sceneso I don’t have to see it the sameeach time I re-live it.
