It is true what they say: no drug is more potent than puberty and after it peaks the comedown will last your lifetime. One day you will wake up to the fog already on your bed spread like a lazy cat. And in this haze – this swooping ticking, this scam that is adulthood – you will become jaded, washed of your colour. Your juvenile eyes will harden. The days will become sticky, harder to rinse off your skin.
