When I was a child:

I wondered why I hadn't been to a funeral, yet.
I loved an ice cream dress.
I realised I wasn't an object worthy of desire
And that desired objects were valuable.

Bob Hawk was King
I fell in unrequited love with my 2nd cousin,
then moved on to Johnny Farnham

I hated the sports day gun.
I wished for a super power
and got one.
I fell into the habit of staring at people.

I learnt that sometimes, Men are attracted to children.
I washed my feet over 50 times per day.
I fantasised about the convenience of a water world.

I wrote lists of worldly advice for myself like -
'Things To Remember When Kissing:
1. Stop Panicking!...'

One year, I aspired to join the nunnery
The next, I excavated the backyard pet graveyard
for archaeological research purposes.

I wondered why I wasn't famous, yet.
I danced for strangers in the nude.

Things were okay, overall.
Things are still okay.

Overall.

Enomis Totip and The Smiling Assassin (Ep.6, Season 3.)

People don't turn into monsters.
You just get to know them better.
