• I want a girl with extensions in her hair,
  Bamboo earrings, at least two pair,
  A Fendi bag and a bad attitude,

• Between gods and men, territories are set up. At least in the no-man’s land of the heights of heaven, the depths of hell, and inside the boundary traced by the oceans. Dimensions installed by a cosmogonic trilogy that leaves each term in its generic place. There remains the earth ancestress, a fourth term, that was once the most fertile, that has been progressively buried and forgotten beneath the architectonic of patriarchal sovereignty. And this murder erupts in the form of ambivalences that have constantly to be solved and hierarchized, in twinned pairs of more or less good doubles.

  Luce Irigaray

We want to be here tomorrow, but buying new shoes, like falling in love, says I plan on being here tomorrow.
