Airport Porn
April 16th, 2011 § 1 Comment
Another airport. Another encounter with the racialization of everyday life. I become irritated that I am irritated, desire to convince myself that racialization is better than racism.
Everyone goes through this.
A fragment of a poem:
The message is clear:
your penis, your vagina,
your testicles, your womb,
your anus, your orgasm,
these belong to the State. (Essex Hemphill, “Occupied Territories”)
I leave fingerprints at borders, nude shots in small-town airports. The pornography of everyday surveillance.
One day, those who follow will marvel at airport porn.
