On The Rocks (2013) 

In On The Rocks, I synthesize gender and sexual politics through my gay American autobiography.  The story starts in private, preparing for the club.  Do I wear the heels?  How will I be judged?  And will I still be desired?  On an even deeper level, is something wrong with femininity?  I wear sneakers instead.  

I go to the club to feel community, ecstasy, love.  I dull my desires, drinking myself into a fever-dream instead.  Surreality plays like an epic in red, angry, passionate and full.  What vulnerable truths lie under this epic display?

"You have everything for me, but what can I give you?  
I can dance on a sheet close to cracking.  
I can settle in your gaze.  
I can even fall apart for some four-letter word.  
But what do I get falling between the ice in our shared cocktail?  
I'll dream about it on the floor  
Parched."
