The Hole
When we walk down the street, people turn their heads, I’d like to think it is because we make such a cute couple – though true – there is also the element of different. We went to a lesbian dive bar and I looked around at young and old women in context, kissing, touching, a butchy girl dancing with a very fey boy behind us, and I mused about how difficult it would be for a young woman, coming into her own, seeking her place in the universe, to find herself a lesbian and have her self actualization so hinged to that adjective – she couldn’t exist outside of it – and yet it provides one more layer to separate her from others. T said it was non-negotiable for her. Maybe that is best, when there is no choice, because faced with a choice, how many would go the route of marginalization?
