Émile Durkhein dizia que o sagrado é a pressão que uma pessoa sente do social sobre ela, dizendo que aquilo é intocável, poderoso, especial. A ideia de que a sociedade pode levar você a pensar determinada coisa, sentir determinada coisa, tá aí; tá clara na sociologia.

(...)

Dizer que é uma construção social não adianta nada para quem sofre o mal. Por isso que o ditado americano me parece tão significativo: “Eu tô me afogando e você descreve a água.”

“Fall / in love / with your solitude.”
says the Instagram poet
with 1.6 million
followers.
Maybe it was
“Eat your hunger.”

You think category
isn’t sexy, isn’t
sex. Seems you’re wrong.

Don’t worry. We have
dozens of them, each revamping
the last. A thing

must be recognizable
in order to be
a thing. After a while

you’ll want to introduce
some novelty, but since
it’s been a while

this could come off
as desperate.
Don’t be mad.

You’d like to punish
the smug, crisply packaged
faux-finite?

We have accessories for that.

I come up
again and again
as if from the ground,
as if in a dream,
see that I’m naked
and cover myself
in a likeness,
oh Lord,
“iconic.”
As if a pebble
could speak for a cave
about “desire”
from a mile off
This trauma isn't a judgment on yourself or who you are.

SAMI
I keep forgetting, we're strangers.

MARTIAN
I know who you are. I know who we are. This is who I am.

SAMI
Is this real?

MARTIAN
It's real.

SAMI
I recognize the face, and I love the man I recognize.
But there's someone else who I can see, who I don't know.

Psst
Charles Simic

Don’t go psst
With a finger
Over your lips,
You seated behind me at the movies,
Or in church
Where I bow my head to pray,
Or in this dive
Where I’m the sole customer,
Shushing me
Out of a dark corner
As I hum to myself
With eyes closed
Thinking of God-knows-what.
Wellness check
Andrea Gibson

In any moment,
on any given day,
I can measure
my wellness
by this question:
Is my attention on loving,
or is my attention on
who isn’t loving me?
I understand being wooed by the finish line
of sadness. Infinity still sends me nudes
every day.

The psychology manuals say no one really wants
to die. They want relief. They believe they will never
find it in this world. That belief could be right.
Or wrong.

One would have to stay to find out.
Friend, if you stay, at least we will be
together, and I have an extra straw.

a neutralidade ajuda o opressor, nunca a vítima

No such thing as the innocent bystander
Andrea Gibson

Silence rides shotgun
wherever hate goes.
I know most people try hard
to do good and find out too late
they should have tried softer.

my queer feels now like celebration:
something worth living for
