The Panopticon

by Jenni Fagan

The sky is a vast black. Each star up there is just a wee pinhole letting in pure-white light. Imagine if it was all pure-white light on the other side of that sky.

Fuck school, ay, just listen, and Google, and read like fuck.

I’m just a girl with a shark’s heart.

I will comb my hair, and brush my teeth and learn how tae be nice to me.
