He had dreadlocks and he was examining a display case with computer chips old and new--how they have developed over 30 years or so. I wonder what I would have been like 30 years ago, if they would put me in a display case with a little caption underneath. If I would be large and bulky and cumbersome, if people would ever stop at the case to look or if they would be in a hurry, walking to class or head down texting or in their mind. If, when they stopped to look, would find me old, ugly, irrelevant. If a boy with dreadlocks and a backpack slung over one shoulder would think I was beautiful.
