Emma

What is she? Sixteen? Seventeen? Facing a crisis I can’t imagine, she rose, threw her fist in the air and shouted, NO MORE. Those who wrap themselves in the flag and claim moral high ground call her a crisis-actor. One tweeted Short bald lesbian. Keep spewing your vitriol, losers. Emma is ignoring you.

    I wonder how far she'll go. Her light will not burn briefly.
