Name: Little Boxes
Duration: P00H02M48S
Description: this is a queer homage to malvina reynolds, who's original song still carries a lot of radical resonance. i just took a theme n queered it to critique both the gender binary as well as the digital binary which we use to develop different senses of a cultural self which is really useful on one hand-but can also be a different kind of limitation IRL.

lyrics

little boxes built on modern lies
ticky tacky made of modern lies
theres pink ones, green ones,
blue and yellow ones
markets full of boxes
built under the sun

and i want to check no
with explanation
i want to blow a hole through the square
we dont even own the conversation
cause what has come before has

put rainbows in a box
and the spectrum in the binary
but the box is just a cage
and i just want to climb a tree

i wanna leap of paper
dive into dimension
i want social security
to be real relations

we have rights on paper
digital friends in a digital age
we have search bar for identity
but our computer screens

are just little boxes built on modern lies
ticky tacky made of modern lies
theres good ones, bad ones just ask pandora
a box full of gifts and memoria
