She doesn’t step outside, she jumps from the second landing of stairs unto the pavement, her movement is graceful, but contains too much strength, copious resentment. Biting the insides of her bottom lip, the obscure mines of sharpened discernment she uses as optic centers glide quickly from side to side as her feet remain solidly grounded.

Some look her way, retorting with glances and frowns like charged electrons– she is daring them to question her place as core, as the primary source of ardour. Some move away, pushed by the ripples of her presence, unable to handle the weight of her time overlapping their own.

She makes a few steps, keeping close to the foot of the ginger brick wall; the graffiti seems to candidly describe her, pronouncing in hushed choruses the loops of her principled comprehension. It collects around her, ink surges in the shape of halos, for each molecule of her alignment.  Around her you can smell realism slowly melting into the paprika within the lavender, the leather within the cotton. It’s a distressing fragrance, the essence of inaction disguised as achievement.

Off she goes into ambiguity, where needs become salaried organs, taking with her only enough lettuce and kidney beans for a mere continent’s fill of repugnance. In the heart of the infinite belly’s eye she ventures a stare, without guilt or denial, without statistical fact, and without exaggerated illiteracy. We are only spared from her strident thoughts because she knows her demeanour is really enough; she’ll continue to let us see the other shore, with each angry step she makes down the street. God forbid we were more like her, living the truth to the depths of our mitochondria.

You wish she’d force you out of your glass paint jar, that she would throw you by the throat into whirling waterways, where you would be sworn to fight your way to a promised clay cosmos. Have your talents of inattention made you deserving such a favour? You wish.
We (myself included) constantly recreate the world as we please, to keep intact, in the greater scheme of things, unimportant beliefs and lifestyles. We are all guilty- when I saw Lady's Truth earlier today, she seemed angry.
Here's to the accumulation of knowledge and understanding. Here's to objectivity, hope you'll add a pinch of it to your plastic energy drink today.

The imagery in this is so fantastic, ugh this will have to be the last one I favorite so I don't end up completely spamming you with messages.
