As a girl, you see the world as a giant candy store filled with sweet candy and such. But one day, you look around and you see a prison and you're on death row. You want to run or scream or cry but something's locking you up. Are the other folks cows chewing cud until the hour comes when their heads roll? Or are they just keeping quiet like you, planning their escape?
After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of the light can make you giddy. Strange thoughts come into your head and it's often best that you think them. Has a special fate been calling you and you're not listening? Is there a secret message right in front of you and you're not reading it? Is this your last, best chance? Are you gonna take it? Or are you going to the grave with unlived lives in your veins?
I close my eyes and try to peer into the future. On my left, I saw days upon days of tubes and tires, dirty looks and quiet whisperings. And burning secrets that just won't ever die away. And on my right, what could I picture? The blue sky, the desert earth, stretching out into the eerie infinity. A beautiful never-ending nothing.
