A Good Little Girls Zine

Obstruction

The blame—it stacks high, an unyielding tower of sharp pieces of stone.

You assemble and build and construct…

So focused on this up surd structure

So consumed by the long hours you put in to lay each stone just right for all your viewers to see

but you are blinded—

blinded by the work, unable to see that each shard of rock has your name on it too.
