If a “y” and/or “e” in “my” and “me” are in parentheses, it is to subvert the uniformity and stability of the having subject. “my” and “me” suggest a subject that has whatever “my” is referring to or “me” is. There is a stable “I” behind every “me” and “my”. “m(y)” and “m(e)” still partially perform the forenamed functions, but they shift the focus to the letter m, which stems etymologically from early signs for water and which embodies the fluidity of water in this text. The stable “I” behind “my” and “me” is replaced by the fluid “m” in “m(y)” and “m(e)”. The “m” that, due to its fluidity, is at certain points indistinguishable from the ‘object’ of the “m(y)”, but is no less real for it.

(This linguistic concept-practice is especially effective if your name is M/m, which m(ine) uncoincidentally is)
