you
choose
a
name
that's
nothing
like
your
own
and
walk
around
inside
its
lanky
frame
until
the
word
you've
been
wearing
starts
to
feel
like
a
cowl
that
was
sewn
into
your
skin
at
birth
.
one
day
you
stare
at
the
screen
and
see
you've
engineered
your
own
end
, salting
the
seeds
of
a
dull
dismantling.
you
click
the
button
beside
an
email
field
you
haven't
filled
in
for
twenty
years
and
tear
the
moment
in
two
, granting
yourself
permission
to
slip
back
into
who
you've
been
and
who
you
haven't
yet
become
,
diving
into
a
mile-long
chasm
with
scrawny
arms
primed
to
hold
you
where
you
fall
.
