"Fuck This Shit" An Autobiography For Riot Grrls #6
copyright (c) 1996 by Annalee Newitz
I am in love with this object
because it promises to be mine
until it is used up
and then I will put it in whichever garbage can
that I want to choose for it
this object drowns out the sound of my skin
settling down into a shape closer to dying
and when I get up to leave the auditorium
(later tonight)
the left-over warm emptiness of my gone body
will somehow still hang in the air
like an erotic ghost
I cannot tell you how long I have made this object
do as I say
because it will not disobey
I pay for it repeatedly
and I cannot let it go
