It doesn't bother me when Mr.Bryant leans on the overhead and hopes with a furrow of the brows that we got something out of his class, or when my first impulse is to go to my locker but I reach for a lock that isn't there. But when you say this could be the last time I see you and take a high-five (and two for the road), letting our hands hang there for a second in the air, Jesus, just take my lungs with you. Here, kidneys too. Don't forget the appendix. And once you've got the spleen, I suppose you could leave.
