The Psychological Impact of Whites

It was hard to convince people that she could act, coming out of reality

to feel safe hidden in the wings, watching the spectacle sideways,

to enact an elegant, vicious revenge: she kills him, clothes herself in

subjective observation. Subjective: an opinion, a feeling. A judgment.

A piece of set decoration on the subway or at a dinner party, as

running back through the fog as it melted away like a dream,

before getting accepted to a startup accelerator and then dropping out,

Karen’s unmufflered vehicle tore through it contemptuously, and

this world of borderline or inadvertent or near-invisible scamming

became a regular audience member, and then a regular donor, and

pledged a sorority and sat on my rooftop, smoking spliffs and

shoehorning in on his conversation with the actress, who faltered and

observed, in retrospect, was guided by a sort of fairy-tale inevitability:

the only slight difference, a connoisseur’s difference, between the two

shaped by patriarchy: my own professional instincts are different,

framed and lined up on the wall. Paneling on the walls and shag on the

connective tissue of our experience, an unbreakable link between

canonized and noncanonized texts. Texts are worthy of study.
