My hope has been that the always oblique and sometimes perverse focusing would facilitate revisionings of fundamental, persistent western narratives about difference, especially racial and sexual difference; about reproduction, especially in terms of the multiplicities of generators and offspring; and about survival, especially about survival imagined in the boundary conditions of both the origins and ends of history, as told within western traditions of that complex genre.

Donna Haraway

all the brutal fluff
would i have a friend
or a dress to go
leaving
clouds speeding ticket
i do
treat the strays better
than the cats called mine
because every day
we stray through
all the brutal fluff

And that’s the thing about people who mean every word they say. They think everyone else does too.
