Tourist Animal Series: On Defining a Whore

Am I a whore?

Do you think I am a whore?

Do I look like a whore?

Does my womanness make your eyes see a whore?

What do you think a whore is?

Are you a whore?

Is it possible for you to be a whore?

Does greed make a whore? Does envy? Seething rage-filled desperation?

Am I mere body parts for your consumption?

Am I too far disintegrated?

Can you still piece me together in the image of a frothing hole that exists only to be plugged?

I think I understand what you mean by whore when I look at you.

You are the easy greedy, the bloated vampire, the stinging bug, a ravenous tapeworm, always hungry. Always dead and taking.

Tell me. Is that what a whore is?
