ungrounded
raze
that
first
night
we
played
together
,
they
tried
to
goad
me
into
buying
cigarettes
.
we
were
all
underage
.
i
looked
the
oldest
out
of
everyone
.
they
told
me
no
one
was
going
to
card
me
.
i
didn't
buy
it
.
i
wouldn't
do
it
.
tyson
bashed
a
drum
kit
that
looked
like
it
somehow
survived
a
house
fire
that
decimated
everything
else
. current coiled
through
a
torn
microphone
cable
and
stung
my
lips
each
time
they
tapped
the
grille.
sing
,
steve
screamed
at
me
.
fucking
sing
.
i
gave
him
what
he
thought
he
wanted
when
i
wasn't
getting
electrocuted.
gord
recorded
the
mess
we
made
on
a
boombox.
it
wasn't
anything
special
.
just
a
few
chords
in
search
of
songs
.
but
i'd
kill
to
relive
the
day
i
borrowed
the
tape
so
i
could
steal
it
or
dub
myself
a
copy.
it's
long
gone
now
.
none
of
the
rest
of
them
ever
cared
enough
to
preserve
the
precious
things
.
