The pieces he chose often feature text, but only fragmented pieces of words appear; this leads us to ask, what are the syllables? The text or the images themselves? This de-familiarization of letter forms, although technically unreadable, can be interpreted by the composition of each page. Throughout Haiku Book I, the collages become less clinical--in the end, the rough edges and layering of syllables devolves into a tangled heap.
