'Pretty Little Liars'

Drama, personified,
certified,
broken images and
unreal cities of
an ersatz world,
bildungsroman in a visual form,
a seed of truth in every lie?
Bizarre fiction, or the norm?

The Waste Land*

1. The Burial of the Dead

piercing pain and numbness
crossroads
hope/despair
joy/grief
dichotomies between feelings and
extremes of being
and
the narrowing of possibilities to

one

'In the mountains, there you feel free,'
you would frighten others with your anguish and your heart howls

'What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter'

and we are all the same.
