So it was sort of weird for Mom to react by telling me not to roll my eyes like that. It certainly had not happened, after all. I was off script and the everything else was going on as planned, with or without me. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t brain chemistry gone weird from endocrine hormone secretions or anything like that. Reality was broken. This wasn’t part of growing up. This wasn’t part of anything usual at all. This wasn’t even a trip to Wonderland.
Emily! You know I told you to leave those porch lights on or else to come inside! What would people think? I’ll not have the neighbors gossiping about “that publicly god-consuming poet on the porch” of my house! If you must partake of such rituals, do so in indoors privacy or in the appropriate house of worship. We have a reputation to maintain in this town. You know what happened in the last town!
