Pushed away: Nectarines; Nectarine Juice
“I run everything past an audience that isn't in the room.”
It conforms carefully and continuously, checking each choice against what would be thought of it, and the checking is not vanity but insurance against a rejection it treats as always pending. A mother who demanded performance and kept one eye permanently on the neighbours installed the audience early, so the person now lives in front of a jury assembled from people who are not present. What it asks for is one choice made without submitting it to the jury first.
It echoes Pechmarie, who came back out of the well and stood in front of everybody with the grade she had been given still stuck to her, visible from any distance. The form implies a task: to find out whether anyone is actually looking.
