Pull back my sleeve,
comparing whiteness.
Spots on my arm,
crap, I must be dying.
Maybe a liver problem,
or an ailment of the
heart, you see, I'm
sixteen, I should still
have so long, so I
ignore it. Maybe I'll
figure it out later.
Maybe I'm imagining
things, Maybe it's--
oh yeah, it's
just volleyball.
