Home! How lucky tohave one, how arduous
to make this scene
of beauty for
your family and
friends. Friends!
How we must have
sounded, gossiping at
the dinner table
last night. Why, that
dinner table is
this breakfast table:
“The boy in trousers
is not the same boy
in no trousers,” who
said? Discontinuity
in all we see and are:
the same, yet change,
change, change. “Inez,
it’s good to see you.”

more commonplace book type posts
disseminating sex
there’s so much in this
a queer composer rewriting the lyrics of another queer composer’s song about the naturalness of constant fucking
and then there’s all this weird stuff like about who can fuck and who cannot fuck and who canalmostfuck in Coward’s version, it’s much more constrained

(sorry, I will tag these posts, as they are bound to be total mishmash, with “commonplace book” if you want to block them)
