Sometimes we need to. Sometimes it’s required.
Sometimes you and get a sense that things are getting
increasingly dire. Our plans are getting increasingly
mired in questions of
just what exactly is a gay, non-binary leader of the Kristang? and
isn’t he tired?
A similar question is required,
since I, too, note that that things are getting
increasingly dire. Your plans are getting increasingly
mired in questions of
why exactly do you not understand the gay, non-binary leader of the Kristang? and
aren’t you tired?
What part of the plan
don’t you understand?
The fact that this woman-man actually
has none? Or that
you, and all you wanted to be, have thus far successfully spanned
an almost completely and uniformly negative range of being.
A stark, sickening, almost horrific revealing
of all the ways that the team you play for
eats its own people.
Desecrates its own temple.
Defeats its own awareness that it is quite closely approximating
the classical, contemporary and future definition of evil.
Reveals its own futile
efforts to reclaim what should have easily been yours to heal.
Remember this too — this is no covert or implicit deal,
just what is stated, bare-faced and written with this Merlionsman’s seal
of non-approval:
in the future, when they,
and I write about you, in the encyclopedias that will criss-cross the sky
every last word will still be undeniably
and unmistakeably true.
