The Silver Screen, Its Chemicals, and the Boy Who Sat to Watch.
On the weight of making and watching movies.
This is (part) of my story.
I wasn't supposed to make it. My body, my soul, the mechanics of my muscular heart, were overlaid in whispers of death. I was born premature: 26 weeks early, weighing 1 pound and six ounces. I later fell to 1 pound and three ounces – the size of a soda can. Pumped with iron and other essential vitamins, I was placed in an incubator: a box that kept me shielded from the outside world. Binding me.
Afros in the Future. It gets weird where I am.
