first time reading patti smith!! how exciting for me!

the progression is quite slooooooowww

"I wonder if truth is a star that eventually burns out. I wonder if a woman is a fact or a fiction."

"You hug your mad, but it will not disappear, like the memory of your older cousin pinning you down like butterfly Barbie, limbs splayed, face frozen. Or the way he tickles you until you can't breathe, his hands everywhere and wrong..."

"The rain makes our clothes stick to our bodies--we are slick with the reminder that we exist to be hidden." !!!

i don’t want it to end!!
