One Fine Morning Alexa Charouhis ’27 One Fine Morning… East Egg, West Egg, Aspen, Hamptons. It’s all just an Instagram illusion. Filter. Edit. Crop. Delete. Are we 21st-Century Edisons? Or just GenZ pretenders? Hermione, Barbie, Ariel, Taylor. One click, and I’m anyone I want to be. Digital masks and 80-character bios. Does it even matter who i am? BMW, LV, 24K, YSL. I want to be in the alphabet parade. Beat. Boats. Borne. Back. Outside Tiffany’s windowpane, the alliteration is searing. “Screens away! Lights off!” The only time I’m real is in my dreams. Pink suit. Green light. I’m penciling down the best of what I’ve got inside, in the hope it gets me out. 2
