Medley (lost chapter from a work in progress)
MEDLEY (Shampoo)
Three girls strip and mime on a podium, on fire in the blinding purple-blue light.
I’m in Suwon, a city known for trannies and homosexuality in a country where such things are not so much hidden as rare. Korea isn’t Japan. Gay doesn’t even translate into anything.

an excerpt from Apocalypse! (White Day)
Apocalypse! (White Day, not today)
I laugh way too much.
It's 2 o'clock in the morning as I stand arms crossed, eyes bewitched in the light as the stage show begins, the all night darkness of dancing to electronic beats now giving way to the revelation of a Korean girl in a Viking helmet miming to Pussycat Dolls. The stage is her deck as Korean men dance in sync behind her with bare oiled torsos and fake snakes round their shoulders.
