Presumably, "heaven" (the user name of the poster) is a young girl in the early stages of schizophrenia, obsessed with Prince William of England. I was reminded of Saint Becky Silverstein (it's how she signed her name), a woman who used to put up photocopies of handwritten pages of her odd rants all around downtown Los Angeles. I was always fascinated by them, and by Saint Becky's peculiar view of reality. There's often something oddly medieval about the un-medicated schizophrenic's world view, perhaps induced by early exposure to fairy tales and romantic costume movies.
It was especially odd to come across this piece in an Internet forum, sitting there amid utterly unrelated posts. It was like one of Saint Becky's photocopies stuck to the wall of one of the staid banks or busy department stores of Los Angeles, ignored by the passing crowds. It made me a bit sad.
