"Simple I am I. And you are you. It is vast, and will endure.
What I am writing you is a "this". It won't stop: it goes on.
Look at me and love me. No: you look at yourself and love yourself. That's right.
What I'm writing to you goes on and I am bewitched".
Like nothing I've ever read before, "it is the story of instants that flee like fugitive tracks seen from the window of a train".

It begins.
“Because no one can hold me back now. I can still reason—I studied mathematics, which is the madness of reason—but now I want the plasma—I want to eat straight from the placenta.”
And continues.
“Let me tell you: I'm trying to seize the fourth dimension of this instant-now so fleeting that it's already gone because it's already become a new instant-now that's also already gone. Every thing has an instant in which it is. I want to grab hold of the is of the thing. These instants passing through the air I breathe: in fireworks they explode silently in space. I want to possess the atoms of time. And to capture the present….”
A examination of time, art, her death and the nature of God.
