Page 77

The page is a compact statement of estrangement: even the sound of the sea has changed.

By attaching that altered hearing to a name and place, the note becomes more than observation. It feels like a record of displacement, where geography remains but the world's texture no longer matches memory.

A four-line title card whose claim is auditory estrangement, 'SEAS dont sound / THE SAME', then a name and place, 'Raster Johnson / KAUAI'. The line records the sea changing not in sight but in sound, the kind of displacement where the geography stays but its texture no longer matches memory. Source spelling 'dont' kept as written.
