The brain static of cognitive dissonance at 11 in the morning. Paging through old journals fast enough to not really consume anything. Each unfortunate pause to read accompanied by a grimace. Self-conscious discomfort on a molecular level. Young adult growth scars, no less real without keloids. It shouldn't hurt so much. Digging through the hubris and the solipsism. A hair shirt that wants cutting with the shears of a hatter.
