Field Report

I took a walk in Portland this morning and thought about quilts as colors, lines, and composition.

My new plan for being desirable is this: I am going to be the performer. When a person is a performer, they are desirable. As a part of an audience, you just exist. Everyone watches that performer up there, using the empty spaces to think, opening up thoughts, wandering through sounds in our minds, allowing the opportunity to think about how interesting, how intriguing that performer is up there. It’s because the performer creates the space in the air, in the heads of the audience, to be able to think something. And the easiest thing to think is, huh, that performer is desirable. I want to do something like them, dress like them, oh, or maybe make out with them. I need to get up on stage, and be a performer. I need to get desirable. There will be nothing new about me that doesn’t already exist, it will just be that I will stand up there and say what I think, in an organized way, instead of saying it offstage, in a disorganized way. Organization is hot. So I’m going to be the performer.
