Twenty-Two ~ Bethany Sideik

Anthony Keidis

"I am a never-ending plane crash, a papier-mâché rocket ship burning up as it's lifting off, slowly turning to ash as the wind carries it away. I knew I'd never make it out of the atmosphere of my comfort zone unscathed, but the chance of living on another planet or even just another city is so damn worth the risk. I would've taken the bus to the next town, but all these small paper & glass places look so alike, so fragile and temporary. But I desire something which does not burst into flames at the slightest touch, something that can withstand the heat of passion and change and the pressure of adventure and uncertainty without shattering into a thousand pieces or withering away into dust. Like a clown at a mime convention, I long for something different."
