She made an impression and a definition: Naughty and fundamental. Young with a past. Homegrown and worldly. Innocent and cunning. Springtime and salty. A squaw and a queen. She was no virgin but she wasn’t for rent. A mother to be. She wasn’t selling nothing. Didn’t need to. She knew what she was, who she was, and she owned it. Her own element. A natural law. A proper noun. Inevitable. — from Greenlights
