The Whole World, an Unraveled Piece of Fabric all i remember of Junior High can be contained in Sweater Song by Weezer. all i remember is pulling apart & you walking away. i remember touching my mouth & imagining it was any other set of hands; the lightest pressure of a fingertip approximating what i imagine as the sensation of kiss. i remember no one goes to school dances; at least, not if they have better things like getting drunk & trashing the football field. i remember pressing back into a chainlink fence while you demanded to know why i am the way i am & i remember being too young to know. the answer i’d give today is you’re too poor to afford new shirts & by that i mean our future can never be certain & by that i mean here i am, feet planted, & would you like to destroy.
