Girard on a Toilet Wall
The back wall of one of the Linear Parks toilets proclaims
FXXX RACISM
FXXX SEXISM
FXXX HOMOPHOBIA
FXXX TRANSPHOBIA.
I'm not sure what the author considered said fxxxing might actually entail, but did appreciate their disavowing of such prejudices. I then noticed the inscription on my left:
EVERY OTHER PERSON IS ONLY A VERSION OF YOU!
So true. We are all a hot mess, never sure of who we are, often lost, commonly and distressingly predictable.
As I left, I notice the missal continued over the washbasin:
LOVE
is the only
answer!
I contemplated this for a moment, and then noticed one last missal to my right as I turned to my bike:
ACAB includes Peter Dutton
That was the truth of the left side wall right there: All humans forever have managed their fear, rage, and pain by tipping it onto someone else. This is Girard condensed onto a toilet wall.
