i've
been
trying
to
work
out
what
my
first
cd
was
.
i
can
only
narrow
it
down
so
far
.
but
this
was
one
of
them
.
music
is
the
only
effective
form
of
time_travel
i
know
.
so
here
:
thirteen
years
old
.
hair
slicked
back
and
stiff
enough
to
cut
through
stone
. peach
drink
in
a
plastic
cup
.
i
suck
it
through
a
straw.
maybe
i'm
only
hearing
what
i
want
to
hear
,
but
it
seems
to
me
there's
a
lot
of
sadness
squirming
beneath
the
slick
surfaces
of
some
of
these
songs
.
just
look
at
their
names
.
since
you're
gone
.
victim
of
love
.
even
the
title
track
feels
more
like
a
dance
of
desperation
than
anything
that
grows
out
of
joy
.
i
let
my
skinny
body
dip
and
dive
into
a
black
bean_bag_chair
until
it
splits
at
the
seams.
nothing
so
soft
can
withstand
the
weight
of
me
.
