Because the World is

He said that black sheeps express everyone else's anger and pain. It's not that they have all the anger and pain—they're just the only ones who let it out.– Francesca Lia Block, Witch Baby


II.

I told Hellie about my memory once. I got
as far as the two Enchantresses before
she roared
You mean that filthy mother of yours
you little maggot
don't you know what yer saying? and she
threw a broom at me.

I spent the rest of the night in a tree,
telling a twig why
it was okay for Hellie to be mad cause
It was my fault anyway.
The twig didn't say anything, so I
broke it in half and
threw it a cat.
