Kinsenas

Bigyan mo ako ng maliligaw sa estruktura,
bulong ng daigdig sa Maynila.

Kumusta ang mga bata?

Nakakandado ang tarangkahan sa ating pagitan
ngunit may lumalangitngit.

Husto na sila sa kandila kung saan ka tutungo.
Kumakatok ang suwero sa pinto kung saan ako kakatok.

Maghuhulog ako sa katapusan.

Sapagkat, ayon sa husga ng mga naninirang-puri sa akin, hindi ko tungkulin ang makaalam at wala naman akong kakayahang magtagumpay, kaya kung sakaling magkamali ako, hindi ito isang pagkukulang, at hindi ito kasiraan sa aking mabuting pangalan. Hindi ito kakulangan dahil wala naman akong tungkulin, at hindi ito kasiraan dahil hindi naman ako maaaring magtagumpay at ad impossibilia nemo tenetur. Sa katunayan, wala pa akong naisusulat kung saan hindi ako pinilit nang labag sa aking kalooban, at para lamang sa kaligayahan ng iba, at hindi lamang sa walang kaligayahan, kundi may tiyak na pagkamuhi, sapagkat kailanma'y hindi ko kinilala ang aking sarili bilang dalubhasa o nagtataglay ng gayong uri ng dunong na may kaakibat na tungkulin upang magsulat. Ito ang aking karaniwang tugon sa mga nanghihimok na ako'y magsulat, at lalo pa kung kasangkot ang mga banal na paksa. Ano ba ang taglay kong pang-uunawa, ano ang pinag-aralan, ano ang materyales, o kaalaman dito, maliban sa apat na paimbabaw na katibayan? Ipinauubaya ko ang mga bagay na ito sa mga nakauunawa.

Notes on Erica Baum's "Card Catalogues"

D— Or, how it is the thing they could all wear? It's a usual scene in movies, those mornings after, the boy waking up to a girl wearing his shirt. It's quickly becoming a common emblem of entering an other self, as an identity, perhaps as a gender. Getting under someone's skin.

Also: while we wear the shoes of an elder or superior or someone who came (and went) before (wear my father's shoes), we wear a shirt of a peer, an equal (of sorts), a beloved / drinking buddy needing a change of clothes after a replay night of beer and puke.

A— in love with this idea. these but surface differences (or could be regarded as such), never so deeply ingrained as we suppose. at the same time . . . the fear of pulling from our buildings naked

A— had this to think of while looking at the particular photo

D— Yes. Viewing them in terms of the roles of our gendered selves in relationships,or how relationships gender us, provide us with the role to play (as had already been pointed out). A costume.

A— wish to say yes to, underline, and italicize this

At dahil dito'y inaamin kong makailang-beses nang hinablot nitong takot ang panulat mula sa aking kamay at napilitan akong ilayo sa aking isipan ang pag-unawa sa mga paksang kaakit-akit dito.

Natigilan ako sa tanong na ito, dagdag pa nang nakitang maging ang mga kalalakihang maalam ay pinagbabawalang magbasa ng Awit ng mga Awit at maging ang Genesis hanggang hindi pa sila lagpas tatlumpung taong gulang, gaya ng lubos na naiintindihan ng aking dakilang amang si San Geronimo (ang Genesis sapagkat malabo ito at hindi agad mauunawaan, at ang Awit ng mga Awit nang hindi maging pagkakataon ang tamis ng awit-kasalan upang bigyang kahulugan ng mga mapusok na kabataan bilang pag-iibigan ng laman sa laman). Sa kadahilanan ding ito, ipinayo niyang ihuli ang pag-aaral sa Awit ng mga Awit. Ad ultimum sine periculo discat Canticum Canticorum, ne si in exordio legerit, sub carnalibus verbis spiritualium nuptiarium Epithalamium non intelligens, vulneretur. At ani Seneca, Teneris in annis haut clara est fides.
