Guarded

There is a little piece of plastic on the screen of my cellphone that has been there for months. They put it on new ones so the screens aren't scratched in shipping. I have kept it on to avoid the inevitable scratching of the screen. I wish everybody had one of those, a whole world covered in a thin sheet of plastic to protect our emotions, our pride - laminated from the initial pain of life.

But the other day I dropped it and the plastic thing was scratched so I took it off and was suprised by how greenish the screen was underneath. I had always thought that it was more gray than anything, but I guess the plastic was hiding its color.
