SHE SITS BESIDE ME
Pulls her spine straight,
making her still nowhere near
as tall as me. Yet her presence
seems larger than life.
Do you have any idea why
Leigh isn’t here yet?
I shake my head. Smile.
“Didn’t want to ask. I figured
once she got here, I’d end
up sleeping on the floor.”
She laughs. Futon, remember?
Then she gets serious again.
You know Leigh has never really
forgiven her father, right?
Well, Wayne was recently arrested
for a large quantity of marijuana.
He cooperated with authorities,
and they left him on house arrest,
which turned out to be a good
thing because he just had a major
heart attack. It wasn’t his first, and
they don’t think he’s going to make
it. Leigh flew back to Albuquerque
to basically say good-bye.
Wow. I’m sort of stunned.
He is my grandfather and now
I’ll never get to know him. Not
that I ever wanted to know him,
because of the things that happened
