The rough friction of the internal springs clicks through my fingertips as I twist the plastic faces of this Rubik's Cube, searching for an order that seems to defy the chaos of the morning headlines. My Lycra top clings to me with a synthetic heat, its jagged sequins catching the fluorescent light like a disco ball reflecting a world fractured by fervor and faith.
I adjust my oversized shoulder pads, feeling the stiff foam push against my neck as if trying to ground me in this frantic decade. If I can't align these six solid colors soon, I'll absolutely lose it—honestly, barf me out—it’s like trying to solve a tragedy with nothing but neon plastic and grit.
