It Was a Pleasure Having You in my Car<br />

Ruthie Natanzon<br />

UNBECOMING:<br />

“The Young-Girl only<br />

exists as a Young-Girl<br />

within the system of<br />

general equivalency<br />

and its massive circulatory<br />

movement. She<br />

is never possessed for<br />

the same reason that<br />

she is desired. The<br />

very moment one acquires<br />

her, she is taken<br />

out of circulation,<br />

the mirage fades, she<br />

sheds her magic aura<br />

and her nimbus of<br />

transcendence. She’s<br />

stupid and she reeks.”<br />

Tiqqun, Preliminary Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl<br />

We live vicariously through her “self discovery” and her<br />

fucking.<br />

We hear her on her birthday eating pancakes at a diner in<br />

New Mexico,<br />

she says “I’m having a great time!” She has a mullet<br />

now, she’s a stag.<br />

Her mother tells her its okay to be confused about her<br />

sexuality, “but please don’t wear Old Spice.” She aspires<br />

to be this frozen boy.<br />
