Introduction

X marks the spot.
But a spot is already a mark, of sorts.
The spot is slashed, another(’s) word(s) pushes it further away from us.
 
What elision lies in the slide from determinate to indeterminate? What mar-
ks?
 
What kisses and crosses, coordinates and unknowns lie within?
The spot, I mean, that has been/is being worded.
 
Antagonistic slashes, overlaid. Overlord the word.
 
Whose word? ’S word.
 
Intersections, obviously, but what of the hollows in between?
What happens with yet another iteration?
Here we go again.
