I try and I try but I can't forget high school:


1. The fire of Altoids in my sinuses

2. The sound of a blender making an after-school
smoothie

3. The sliminess of legs when shinguards are
peeled off after soccer practice

4. The panic of losing my transfer on the 43 bus

5. The smell of incense from my brother's room

6. The shock of seeing a homeless man without
pants on Haight street

7. The despair of having no one to eat lunch
with (*classic)

8. The scratch of carpet as I laid on the floor
listening to The Donnas

9. The rattle of a retainer in a plastic case

10. The smell of toner as zines are Xeroxed
