La piscine des Halles rouvre. Freedonia, l’addiction au bien-\u00eatre<\/i>, a d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9 ici<\/a>, l\u00e0<\/a>, ailleurs<\/a> ou passim<\/i>, de l’insoutenable \u00e9rotisme des cabines, des jeux de bassin, des rangs de douches. De la nudit\u00e9, de la scrutation, de la clandestinit\u00e9. Mais comme jadis, des pissoti\u00e8res du \u00abjardin extraordinaire\u00bb des Tuileries et des vespasiennes de Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s, comme — me dit David — des arbustes de Russell Square, la r\u00e9pression et le conformisme ont, aux Halles, des vestiaires, oblit\u00e9r\u00e9 la g\u00e9ographie avant de brouiller le souvenir. Qui dira l’\u00e9vidence des cabines face \u00e0 face, l’ironie des oeilletons bricol\u00e9s, le confort de l’exiguit\u00e9, qui pourra \u00e9voquer le cort\u00e8ge des habitu\u00e9s et la sagesse de leurs coutumes?<\/p>\n

De cela, il ne reste d\u00e9j\u00e0 plus grand’chose. La rumeur d’un lendemain de carnaval. Le contreplaqu\u00e9 a fait place \u00e0 l’efficacit\u00e9 so nineties<\/i> de casiers automatis\u00e9s et de bancs en plastique. Exit les branlettes \u00e0 l’arrach\u00e9, mais adieu aussi les huissiers antillais et les vigiles maliens. La p\u00e9d\u00e9ologie<\/a> dit que c’est l’assimilation qui tue la drague sauvage: la compression des co\u00fbts fait ici bon m\u00e9nage avec l’embourgeoisement des gays.

\nLes Halles’ swimming pool re-opens. Freedonia, addicted to well-being<\/i>, has talked already here<\/a>, there<\/a>, elsewhere<\/a> or passim<\/i>, of the unbearable erotism of cubicles, of pool games, of shower rows. Of nakedness, scrutiny, and underground. But like (in days gone by) of \u00able jardin extraordinaire\u00bb of Tuileries’ and Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s’ urinals, or of Russell Sq. shrubs — David informs me –, repression and conformism have, in Les Halles, of the locker-room obliterated the geography, before they blur its memory. Who will tell the obviousness of face-to-face cubicles, the irony of knocked-up spyholes, the comfort of smallness, who may evoke the procession of regulars and the wisdom of their customs?<\/p>\n

Of this, little is left already. The murmur of a carnival’s morrow. Plywood has made room for nineteen-nineties’ efficiency: automated lockers and plastic benches. Exeunt snatch wankings, and farewell to West-Indian ushers and Malian watchmen, too. Faggotology<\/a> has it, that assimilation kills cruising in the wild: as for here, cost-cutting hits it off with gay embourgeoisement<\/i>.<\/p>\n
