«Any time there is a fat person
onstage as anything besides the butt of a joke, it’s
political. Add physical movement, then dance, then sexuality
and you have a revolutionary act.»
What am I? Now and then long ago I came for a few seconds quite close to ME, to ME, to ME. But the moment I caught sight of ME I lost ME—there was only a hole through which I fell like Alice.
— Tomas Tranströmer, from “Portrait with Commentary” in The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems
