The store window is a blur of neon pink and those sharp, inverted silhouettes, but it’s the headline about those cashmere sweaters being snagged on politics that really makes my stomach knot. I’m staring at a $0.50 loaf of bread, wondering if even that’s going to be out of reach by next week with the way things are heading.
Everything feels so fast and heavy under these flickering lights, even if that new Billy Joel song keeps trying to convince me otherwise. I saw a girl walk by with a perm so tight and a leather jacket so bad it almost distracted me from the rising costs, but the fear of what’s coming next is always lurking behind the sequins.
