People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. This is the first thing I hear when I come back to the city. Blair picks me up from LAX and mutters this under her breath as she drives up the onramp. She says, "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles."

Though that sentence shouldn't bother me, it stays in my mind for an uncomfortably long time.

It seems easier to hear that people are afraid to merge rather than bind x "snd_restart" doesn't work anymore, that "distraught" isn't a real word, && that even if it was, I shouldn't use it.


Wonder if her panopticon is for sale.
I don’t close my eyes.
You can disappear here without knowing it.
