Jeux de mains, Lyon 1er, mai 2012
“A chance encounter, an intent stare, a hand clasp, a running after, a sitting down, a weird, hesitant oral intercourse, a visit, an exploration of bodies, a venturing out at dusk, an extended, more intimate conversation, a decision, a stealthy return, and a glorious, abandoned night. Glittering life, you contain much that is inexplicable and much that is deceptively simple.” YR, 1952

“I drive down to Wall Street and break into the exchange. I go up to all the traders and cut off their balls. They don’t bleed, only dollar signs come out. They don’t miss their balls, ‘cause they’re too busy fucking you with everything else they’ve got.”
— Karen Finley, Constant State of Desire, 1986 (Hat tip to allieology)
