Jack IN II

Therefore I Am by Billie Eilish plays.

Jack Kennedy.

Icon.

That’s him. Right? Wow!!!! He didn’t just photograph well. He was a real model.

Models have flaws too. But fewer than most people. And Jack was a real model. And…he was US President. He…is Barbie. Nevermind that the real Millenial, real Barbie is anatomically impossible. She’s not human. No. Jack…was Barbie come to life.

And Barbie doesn’t marry Ken. She is Ken. She uses Ken. It’s insane.

But…while black daddies warned their daughters away from white Barbie…white fathers didn’t know. And it was just a doll except…it also was an insidious, evil doll. She was creepy. Possibly just a doll…possibly pure evil.

…But models are real. Relax. Plastic dolls aren’t. They might be possessed. But they aren’t people. Can you handle that? Or is that too scary?

“But there were black Barbies?” says a Black person.

“Yes. But not as many.” says a poor Black man. “Those dolls are creepy.”

“Poor Barbie. Poor pretty blondes. They didn’t deserve that.” says Lacey.

“Dammit!” says Elsie Hill.

“But the Kennedys are creepy Barbie. That’s how I dang see it. Mmkay?” says a dead woman.

“That’s a Seay.” says Lem.

“Jack is…impossible as we’ve always perceived him. He’s psychologically impossible.” says Freud.

Models are real. Barbie is not.
