To Pluto and Jane and all the rest,

I would never tell you this. But I wanted bruised fists. I always did, Jane. I want to look like I fought for something, like I fought for Pluto, or even you... I want bloody knuckles & eyes press painted with jealousy. Of course I was jealous of you, Jane. But I could never hurt you. And I think I lied before. When you were fluttering here and fluttering there, the cement on my feet was breaking down. When we kissed... I felt like I was falling off the edge of the world. 

You were so pretty, Jane. Pretty is expensive, something my family can't afford. Confidence is bought with American currency.
