The sun on my face distracts me from my father, as he yells in my ears how much of a disgrace I have become. His voice, shadowed by the dark clouds that hide the sun, becomes a tiny speck of mud. I stamp on mud on a hill run. The smell of stella artois spills from his mouth, as he warns me of the dangers of birthing a dark child or none at all. His impatience grows louder, as I gaze at the white streak in the sky above, internally questioning whether it is A. a chemtrail, that casts nauseating ignorance, as evident by the neanderthal beside me or B. a magic carpet, that could transport me somewhere else; somewhere the sun shines and the clouds never have to come out.
