Today I have insights nowhere nearby while reading.
While under-sand was grating, these pages bored me.
BTW, did I share this URL yet? So ATD:

Quotations and Thoughts about the Word
> [re: mirrors:] "a haze of secular use"

Paul says we see as if in a glass (mirror), darky.
I have used mirrors in my tantra, once producing
a dream of a policeman (who I think was another me)
giving me a ticket for parking illegally, to go
into a bookstore, in a city with a great circle,
New York I think (never been there), or solar On.
The meditation target moment involved two females,
and the Holy Spirit advised, "Buy a lot of tickets".

A-l-o-n-z-o. A to Z. A to O. Alpha and Omega. 'Zo,
greek for life. Meatman: suggests an autofellator.
To find him would be to reproduce what Jesus knew.
Zo departed into peri-anal perdition, or wilderness.
> "white porcelain fittings voluptuous of form,
> not necessarily toilets,"
In tantra long ago, I was given a vision of a standing
white phallus. Midway inside it was a self-intersecting
curve, like a lowercase greek alpha character, curve down
and two ends up. Cf. ATD "Ace". This is particularly tied
to Revelation's third letter to Pergamos, and to the third
trumpet event, wherein a whore turned over and initiated
anal sodomy (I did not realize!): "I will give him a white
stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man
knoweth, saving he that receiveth it."

To "come quickly" is wherein one partner is quick, is not
dead, as by ejaculation. By contrast, saunter is ordinary
sex, both partners satisfied, as in Smynra / second seal,
"and it was given unto them to kill one another".
Per Hargrove, tree is phallus, but Millay's poem, approx.
"three mountains and forest" suggests clitoris and nipples
are included among the referents for sacred symbol, trees.
That the commandant "turned back" is equivalent to "putting
Alonzo behind him". The anus is that typically unaccessible
location of mystery, the bodily orifice a performative term,
an indexical, specifically, "where", and some thing indexed
by it is primarily a "what". But what about Who, Which, too?
I have a bodily circuits theory that each body, man or woman,
although topologically a torus (oral-anal digestive tract),
has especially a (simple or trifurcated?) oral-genital path,
and a bifurcating anal-mammary path. By path, I mean there
is some transmission, a semiotic sign activity from one end
to the other. I suspect Melanie Klein's penis-in-breast idea
presupposes anal sodomy. However, seeking gender symmetry,
I posit that breast sucking parallels anal sodomy. That is,
if A suck's B's breasts, it is equivalent(?) to B's genital
(whether male or female) at A's anus. Noteworthy then is a
monadic case of breast self-sucking, which produces the Rev
symbol of "horse": The person "follows" herself: four legs,
two torsos: a rider and horse. I had wrongly said before a
horse is coitus, when I wrongly taken the Lamb's coital to
be the seal-opening events. Rather, opening the seals was
perparatory perusal of pornography. The models, the living
creatures, say by their being published, "Come and see!"
His later coital adventures are Revelation trumpet events.
If penile anal sodomy provides a material "What", (also
note that in the case of such a therion-beast, his genital
loses its "naming" function, and becomes merely a "mark"),
then breast sucking must position immaterially the "Who".
If the female (typically) is inverted, we'd get a "Which".
(A witch?) I could'a written that Abbot and Costello skit.
How-ever, I think How and Why are oral-genital operations.
Any-way,...
Seven academy names suggest the seven parts in Revelation.
I would suggest their predominant characteristics are thus:
1. breast suckling by male (including motherhood)
2. female fellatio (main symbol: fish in sea)
3. anal sodomy (whether in male or female anus)
4. male fellatio (including autofellatio)
5. female cunnilingus (main symbol: abyss) (in ATD, surely under-sand)
6. male cunnilingus (main symbol: eagle in air)
7. breast sucking by female (including autosuckling).
Nice chiastic arrangement, no 8-th feature required.
By special arrangement, Christ, Pan, the self-suckling
male, a Tiresias, a Rev 12 rebirth, is also category 7.
So the chums seem stuck awhile in the hegemonic world
of the academy, doing worldly things, ruled by Satan?
Certainly in ATD Transgressors would refer to some of
those sexual categories above deprecated in the bible.
Yet, as of this moment, they still possess the world.
The seven types of sexual encounters confer spiritual
or temporal blessings and curses, affect dominion,
produces the world in a full-tilt handbasket to Hell.
Its hegemony defines what is permitted, what abject.
Hence, as P says, the only fucking is done on paper.
..queer theory thus attempts to map a more dynamic, less assured account of the
body in motion within prevailing discourses of power. Moreover, it is precisely
in seeking such destabilizing dis- identifications that the queer project should
find points of intersection with feminist and post-colonial inquiry.

Queer Performativity
A harmonica seems so cunnilingus to me. However, why
would a trumpet be heterosexual genitals intercourse?
As I considered a water-hammer, the trumpet converts
a linear flow into oscillatory turbulance, a humping.
My apologies to OBA if I've misinterpreted his symbols.
On the funner side:
