eventually asked if i could use it
for something… else.

Charles Ives, America's Greatest Composer — Classicalnotes

He's been dubbed the greatest American composer by such cultural shapers as Time magazine and Leonard Bernstein. You've never heard of Charles Ives? That's OK - he wouldn't have cared. But wait - aren't America's contributions to classical music surely eclipsed by its gifts to jazz, blues, country, pop and, of course, good old rock 'n' roll?

for me,
upcycling is so important
that i had to title the song
in a way that makes it as clear as possible
that i want more people to know about it.
because ultra is composed of upcycled ideas.

in the same way that you can
upgrade existing products
into ones of higher value,
without having to
throw them away,
you can update existing ideas
into ones of deeper meaning,
without having to
erase them from memory.

in the same way that
the mindless churn of
product use and disposal
creates clogs of cluttered waste,
the mindless churn of
learning and forgetting
creates clogs of cluttered thought.

when you can return to that “waste”
and not just reap the same benefit,
but access something
even more profound.

why create something new from scratch
when you can be creative with what you have?

a phrase i heard a lot.

if you’re gonna tell me
what you wanna do to me,
put your money where your mouth is.

the punchline of it all is that this is me.

you see girls on the site
who are just knockouts.
brilliant, witty, warmhearted women,
looking straight into the camera
and thanking you.

i fell embarrassingly hard multiple times,
and had to keep snapping myself out of it,
reminding myself that these women are
professionals, countries away,
and deserve better than me.

though most of my week or so spent
revisiting the site were positive,
there were a couple of times where i saw
things verging on disturbing.

if the viewer tips the model
a certain amount of tokens,
she has to do a certain thing,
from something silly (winking, ahegao)
to something more (pain, cumming).
every once in a while, i’d see a stream
where a woman was tipped for something
she very obviously did not want to do.
yes, she put it on her menu of actions.
yes, you paid money for it, maybe a lot.
is she obligated to do it? can she say no?
she would usually do it, reluctantly,
and that dissonance stays with me.

this was also the first time
i had seen a woman orgasm
while screaming the word “no.”

i had recently begun revisiting chaturbate,
with a different outlook than the one i had
when i would carelessly sample the sounds.
after much reflecting on my relationship
to sex and pornography, i felt that i could
see both of them beyond the two dimensions
i immaturely understood them at before.

i never spent too much time on the actual site,
just watching clips of highlights from shows.
it was a welcome surprise to see how often
people would just get naked and hang out,
and an even greater surprise to find that
the chatrooms on the site were
astronomically more generous
than any twitch chat i’ve seen.
a truly genuine warm atmosphere.

sex workers deserve respect.
pornstars deserve respect.
camgirls deserve respect.

why not honor that fact
with a doo-wop ode?
