thin lace

thin lace is a media-rich, spoken word poem that takes a darkly humorous approach to the evolution of love in longterm committed relationships. It was part of Expanded Art’s “Female Pioneers of Digital Art” exhibition and acquired by NFT Museum Art. It was also nominated for a MAXXI BVLGARI Prize in the Digital Sector.

perhaps it stops being             about

me loving you
you loving me
us loving us

all this adult love loving

& more about
ceasing
embracing a life that ends

watch it end

i bought flimsy pajamas
for you
for me
for us

lace for the children’s rock-hard home

but who cares about sex
i just want you to wipe away baby shit

mature love
is the best

it makes you smarter
because you have to think

i’ve always preferred smart to happy
our mid-life love makes me happy,

i think
