Chapter 40: 98

heliumWords: 314

I don't remember the

pledge of allegiance,

but if my iPod plays

"Westside" by TQ

my fingers will form

a "W" without warning,

my mouth will belt

every word before it

bothers to ask for

my permission,

and suddenly it's 98, R&B

is young and there are still

songs on the radio that can

make you want to love something.
