[Particularly as my bauddhamata posts no longer see the light of day on the Yogacara Creativity role, I submit the following.]

Bird on Bird

A tumult in the birdbath.
Lancing pecks and a flurry of wing flap.

Bird on Bird (notes for the future architects of a queer-theoretic liminology)

Suggested reading: Annamarie Jagose, Queer Theory, Australian Humanities Review, 1996.

"The discursive proliferation of queer has been enabled in part by the knowledge that identities are fictitious--that is, produced by and productive of material effects but nevertheless arbitrary, contingent and ideologically motivated [...] Acknowledging the inevitable violence of identity politics and having no stake in its own hegemony, queer is less an identity than a critique of identity [...] Like some postmodern architecture, it turns identity inside out, and displays its supports exoskeletally" (Jagose).
