Q

WENDY. Well.
John and Michael went with him.
They didn’t like everyone talking about them.
They were louder than me,
so it’s quieter now.
And he was big, my father.
So now there’s this big emptiness he left behind
and everything else is a different size…
I guess my mom and I always hid behind him, on
different sides?
So it’s good that all this other stuff is going on.
Now we have other things to hide behind.
