cassettes
raze
the
contents
of
this
cassette
were
carved
up
by
the
carelessness
of
an
adolescent
who
didn't
value
his
own
voice
.
you
press_play
and
hear
a
host
of
improvised
songs
reduced
to
spectral
echoes
of
what
they
once
were
.
most
survive
as
snippets
that
are
gone
before
they've
even
introduced themselves.
there's
something
almost
perfect
about
the
the
way
one
amputated
idea
collapses
into
another
, assembling
an
accidental
collage
of
every
chorus
the
younger
you
couldn't
kill
.
you're
singing
about
a
photograph
you
found
before
you
fell
through
the
ice
when
the
capstan consumes
the
tape
.
you
slap
the
back
of
the
deck
until
it
spits
out
what
it
wanted
to
spin
into
some
strange
supper
,
warped
and
unwound
but
still
structurally
sound
.
this
is
who
you
are
now
.
