PROJECTIONS ONTO ANOTHER MALE

Kavakis wrote about the old mirror projecting itself onto the Egyptian delivery boy: youth and beauty. Lacan’s theories included a French man desiring to be his friend: strength and security. Ginsburg’s metaphors explored what it meant to be a student at Columbia: sex and power. Marqués told a story about becoming the American white man in his class: colonization and denial. All lost themselves into the other: fear to face who they truly were and unavoidable death.
