Untitled 4 (excerpt)
So if I start things rolling I'm a little afraid of where they'll go. You think you know nothing and then it comes along that you know a little about one thing, or a small area of everything. I see the way you cut your hair through the corner of my eye. I understand the beliefs you hold, your reasons for lipstick, your deep, deep disappointment. Sunglasses for darkness and a thinned out mustache, a love for those old, beautiful languages, filling page after page with lunchbox childlike love, soup dreams and I wonder how you'll heal up, do you need more surgery or free copies of the latest medical journals?
This passage is a whirlwind of introspection and observation, blending the narrator's fears with keen observations about another character. The style is stream-of-consciousness, which lends an immediate and raw feel to the writing; phrases like "I see the way you cut your hair through the corner of my eye" create vivid snapshots that almost dance across the page in quick succession. However, at times the sentence structure feels rushed, as though ideas are tumbling out without a clear path, perhaps mirroring the narrator's anxiety but also making it tough to fully grasp each layer. The emotional undertone is heavy with disappointment and a quest for understanding, yet the blend of personal introspection ("I'm a little afraid") with more universal musings about knowledge and healing makes this piece both deeply personal and oddly relatable. The juxtaposition of "lunchbox childlike love" against the stark reality of surgery hints at a complex emotional landscape, rich in themes of growth and pain, but it's a delicate balance that could use some refinement to truly shine.
