Confessions I remember when the future felt farther away. I remember all the people who denied me interiority. The cruelty was on loan—it was never mine. Cigarette smoke makes me think of Paris. I fall into Whirlpools of Time. I wish I knew how much we can blame the world for what we became and how much of it is our fault. A failed actress is actually much cooler than I am. I accidentally swerved my Lime scooter into a thorn bush on Melrose over Brat Summer. It was, in fact, a very Brat thing to do. I was living in Denial (a rented unit). Their Eyes Were Watching God in case he does something funky. Alexa, play Axel F. It’s now the 80s. I’m Winona Ryder playing Veronica. I just got back from Hell and it shows.
