Pledging allegiance to what?

Fireworks on the front lawn, singeing the asphalt. I call them fireworks, when actually they are more a cheap excuse for roman candles.

“I really liked him and when you really like someone, not everything is simple to understand.”
Kyle Labe, Butterflies Behind Glass & Other Stories

“Do you ever feel as if everything surrounding you is in slow motion, moving through tar? There you are - and there's the world. You're outside staring in the window, observing reality happen, but you don't exist in it. You just watch, and watch. That's how I feel, like the dead butterfly staring back at you through the glass.”
Kyle Labe, Butterflies Behind Glass & Other Stories

“The sunsets here were always deep, passionate, and rich - always colors Camila thought she could take a shovel to and dig at for days.”
Kyle Labe, Butterflies Behind Glass & Other Stories

“..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

“Do you ever feel as if everything surrounding you is in slow motion, moving through tar? There you are - and there's the world. You're outside staring in the window, observing reality happen, but you don't exist in it. You just watch, and watch. That's how I feel, like the dead butterfly staring back at you through the glass.”

“Sometimes things are so bad, the only way to keep happy is to avoid them altogether.”
Kyle Labe, Butterflies Behind Glass & Other Stories

“There's something different when a woman does you wrong. We're supposed to be here for each other!”
Kyle Labe, Butterflies Behind Glass & Other Stories

“The sunsets here were always deep, passionate, and rich - always colors Camila thought she could take a shovel to and dig at for days.”
