According to the Question How do you pose a question? With its hair loose, bust out, slightly parted lips, hips at that come-hither game’s over high score pinball machine tilt? And the really big question—what do questions want? You think that mark you put at the end of us says anything about us? Like a clothes hanger without shoulders, shown from the neck up, as if, in fact, you didn’t ever expect to drape an answer on it. Think about the mark you make for woman, a circle with a cross for a crotch. What’s that supposed to mean? Birth is a kind of reverse crucifixion? Sex a forsaking? We’re tired of being your enigmas. We’re tired of always being done the same way. We want to be in the alpha position, as well as the omega. We want you to do us upside-down and backwards, too, first and last, like the Spanish do.
