The lead of Mind.
Denim jacket
Most of the thinking went here. Most of the mischief too.
Chapter one. Mind.
Thinking, inventing, acting on impulse. And the mischievous kid who never left.
Every face is new. None of them asked permission.
Easy to miss. Hard to unsee.
The cut is careful. The mark is not. No, the smiley is not the logo.
Paint one with a finger. Nobody is checking.
It stays on this wall, in this browser.
Made by a hand. Not by a rule.
The kid gets to these two first.
The lead of Mind.
Most of the thinking went here. Most of the mischief too.
Under Mind.
Two layers. The more you wear the outer one, the more it tears. The inner one was always there.
The outer layer is thin on purpose. Rub it.
It does not mend. It will look like this next time.
Rub it, or wear it for a day. Elbows and edges go first. Nobody decides the rest.
