Lost Between Houses
“I would have liked to wander around our city house and say goodbye to my bedroom, goodbye to the maid’s room where I spent all those hours doing my homework, goodbye to the rec room where I listened to “Little Deuce Coup,” the kitchen where I spilt that pot of honey one night just before dinner, my mom walking around with this stuff sticking to her feet, waiting for me to own up.
I felt sort of guilty about those rooms, like I’d abandoned them and there was no one to look after them or think ab...out them.
We had a circular staircase and for some reason, me being superstitious maybe, I never counted the stairs, I had a feeling it would be bad luck. So on the way up, I used to count until I almost got to the top and then I’d stop and sort of scramble my thoughts. But I always figured a day would come when it would be all right for me to know.
What really bugs me is I can’t remember the last time I was there. I think it was with the old man, a few days after we went clothes shopping.MoreLess
