Kelly: Just cool it, runt.


The cool older kid: a spectre in younger childhood that is both mesmerizing and frightening. There is a sense, as a child, that one will never get there oneself, and that childhood is a kind of endless, powerless purgatory. The power centers will always reside elsewhere, out of reach and impermeable, grabbing away every fly ball that comes into reach and offers a little hope for acknowledgment.

Into young adulthood, it's all the same, with different players. The power brokers are still older, but they are not cool. They are veiled. They don't strut or peel out of the parking lot. They squat and whisper in an unknown HQ, at the earth's poles, or below the shifting crust, slowly turning dials labeled in angular, illegible fonts. They don't steal the fly ball as it nears your mitt, but instead they uproot the field and pay others to shoot out the lights, so that there was never a game there to begin with.
