Notes:
“won’t be the whole exclusive flesh won’t be the marble like that” incorporates lyrics from The B-52’s song “Dance This Mess Around,” steals a phrase from Dina Martina, and warps a line from Hito Steyerl’s essay, “In Free Fall: a Thought Experiment on Vertical Perspective.” Its title is taken from The Young and the Evil by Charles Henri Ford.
“amateur drag night/ a fucking didactic” sissies a line from Hart Crane’s poem, “The Wine Menagerie,” ditties a little theory from Lee Edelman’s Homographesis, and adapts a soupçon of language from Aja, some online wig stores, and the mid-aughts sitcom Kath & Kim.
