ANALYSIS OF THE TIME IN THE POEM
In this work, is obvious that the space is not
important, because To create this proto-Twitter
array, participants, students in
Dominican College, at the Sao Paulo Biennial and at the New York UniversityInteractive Telecommunications Program, were asked to "think about someone you
might be in love with, are in love with or are no longer in love with. Write a
*short* sentence addressed to that person." For this, the work doesn’t
have any sense with respect to space, since our verses are said by different
persons in different places. These place we can meet them thanks to the website
to the author (http://www.well.com/user/jmalloy/you/index.html
), but if we try to read her novel, this, doesn’t talk about the space and for
this reason, we let’s go to imagine, a space and with some clues, let’s go to
try imagine this.
But, nevertheless is
important indicate the time that use the author. During the poem, we can see
the different sentences that people says and as was to be expected they use
sentences both in present and past and also interrogative forms or conditionals.
This forms of tenses
we can read in present: you!, I like you like that, Please wear that pink
shirt, thanks for the time, thank you for the parmesan cheese, I see your eyes
at night in dreams, I like you, Do I like you?, I am sitting by the phone
waiting for your ring, .etc...; in past tense the following sentences: did you
ever name your cat?, Did you make it
back to Paris?, etc…; conditionals, as for example: Would you like to come and
see my etchings? or future tenses as I'll never forget the words you said when you
walked into my kitchen and saw the dirty dishes piled beside the sink. This
analysis as for English language, while for other languages, she uses the present
for the Spanish: Gracias por
tenerme
