[15.12.2024]
I was thinking of this person I once had a crush on while living in Paris. I wanted her and I was looking for her. But I couldn’t find her.
I ask myself why this relation didn’t work out. I come to the same conclusion again and again: In order to touch someone and being touched you have to knit yourself a skin first.

« j’ai collectionnĂ© les peaux des autres comme
des couvertures
pour cacher ma guenille
des années à la croire dentelle
jolie ma peau usée

ado Ă  la recherche d’une peau Ă©meri
on apprend
la tendresse orwellienne
quand on grandit dans une maison trou
l’amour c’est la violence

mais si on remet le,
corps, sur, le, métier
si on se, rapiĂšce
si on se, refait, une peau
un ouvrage, tout, neuf

: on retrouve les bonnes définitions
d’amour et de violence
cachées 


I used to work in the head office of a major UK health and beauty retailer (yeah, that one). A skin chart for suncare came across my desk that equated white skin with “normal skin”. I queried this, and was told that it was for use in the backshop only, so should shut up and get back in my lane. It ended up on the shopfloor and in the papers, of course. They genuinely couldn’t see what was wrong with it.

The or might have closed down, but there is something to learn from the team and community: theme it and build your own identity!
