Goldsmith recorded every movement his body made on June 16, 1997 from 10 AM to 11PM without using the word "I." He attempted to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechanical movements by a strict act of observation. The list of words continue until the final chapter where they morph backwards (mirror writing in print), The text is also on the WEB with a Java applet version and was performed. Marjorie Perloff contributed an incisive afterward, "Vocable Scriptsigns" that explains the work.
