this

me
up

that
i
don't
trust
and
can't
put
to

can't
i
cut
the

in
half

standing
in

place
just
allows
all
of
my
faces
to
fold
out
like

accordioned
paper
fan

just
pieces
of
a
silent
bird

a

you
can't

from

left
to
wonder
where
my
escape
hatch
is
when
what's
too
hard
for
you
is
where
i
remain
.
small
furry
animal
inside
a
plastic
ball
,
rolling
around
a
world
of
high
ceilings
that
i'll
never
touch
,
scratching
my
only
window
against
the
dust
and
grain

certain

eventually
my
time
will
run
out

i
get
crushes
,
the
kind
that
reduce
me
to
middleschool-girl-boy-crazy-silliness...but
then
i
talk
to
the
guy
and
realize
he's
*
choose
all
that
apply
* (
a
complete
idiot
/
emotionally
and
psychologically
dangerous
/
an
addict
of
some
sort
/
taken
)
or
in
the
cases
where
there's
nothing
wrong
with
him
i'm
all
giddy
until
i
get
bored
with
him
,
at
which
point
he
gets
added
to
the
"snowball's
chance
in
hell
"
or
the

i'll
get
around
to
sleeping

him

but
then
...there
are
the
times
when
i
actually
like
a
guy
.
that
always
ends
up
being
much
better
than
just
a
crush
,
all
the
fun
without
the
stalking
.
why'd
you
let
my
crush
on
you
go
so
far
,
just
to
tell
me
no
?
you
haven't
EVEN
said
no
.
but
i
know
you
will
.
because
you
used
the
word
love
when
you
referred
to
your
girlfriend
last
night
,
but
not
when
we
whispered
and
struggled
together
in
bed
today
