After a list of your loves, I tell my student who’s feeling stuck, perhaps in every possible way, make a list of your questions. Like: What is love? Is it just saying I’ll eat a hundred bags of your hair? Or is it also talking, continuing to talk about the fact of his whiteness, my notness? How it is that I am an antonym for person, synonym for sickness? This one & a myriad before & mutations to come? Is posing all this as a set of questions when I already know the answers a form of lying? Sure. It’s May, I need this form of lying.
