We spend my birthday in the hotel
where friend of Lisa's worked
:54:03
Lisa gave me a book on the Antarctic as my present.
:54:10
The Ice is everywhere and everything
:54:13
It spreads to all sides, an unbounded void of
:54:15
alien whiteness in geometric rigor.
:54:18
Antarctic is the highest,
windiest, driest continent.
:54:23
Its topography and dynamics
is simpliest on earth
:54:25
An exercise of reductionism
:54:32
The iceberg is the microcosm
of Antarctica
:54:35
It's a fragment torn loose from the
continent, both substance and symbol
:54:39
within its ice the burg contains
record of all ice terrains
:54:43
As it moves away from the massive ice
it gradually disintegrates
:54:48
Most burgs will last less than
two month in an open sea.
:54:58
So your back goes like that
