Couriers carry communiques from town to town in the country of me. These secret messages are unprojected, but couriers sometimes sneak peeks.

It presupposes a common language, a lingua franca that doesn't exist because one side has no language and the other is afflicted by the arrogant assumption that all things are understood via language. shooting signals snap through the unmapped spaces of my mind
