The Albatross

This writes "carried reputation" as the albatross: what they hung on your neck wasn't your fault, yet became your mark. Haven't you been pinned by an old story no explanation shakes?

Eerie airiness for a "I'd drop it, but it clings" tiredness. Taylor makes the innocent burden beautiful and heavy. You'll sigh — some weights are forced on you.
