E2 is a refreshing alternative to the personal portal of the "My fill in the blank" variety. Personal portals link inward toward one's mundane preferences, confining thoughts to the ivory tower of the self. Less than introspection, this merely cultivates habit, the Great Deadener (from Samuel Beckett). Instead, E2 traverses the distance between words, creating intersections of meaning between selves. (Hooray for Humanity!)
It's at these intersections that we can see the boundaries of the self dissolve and evaporate like pollution in rainwater collecting in pot holes on the side of the road.
