Once when we were on a bus between some cities we discussed the things | |
that happened in their early years. Their youngest time was spent alone | |
while living with an uncle only half remaining from a foreign war. His | |
upper half was wel enough, but in the pants between his cuffs where his | |
zipper stopped, his legs were gone. And so he rolled around on wheels, | |
self sufficient in a peeling little house he could not paint again. But it | |
was spotless to the point of two feet above the floor and warmth was in | |
his laugh and in his smiling face. The people that they met were few and | |
might have been disturbed by two who looked so strange, but they were not | |
aware. For living with their stumpy uncle, who was unconcerned and | |
rumpled, made them see things differently. They thought that we were put | |
together randomly, just like the weather, with no uniformity in mind. But | |
that vision only lasted for a while until he passed away and they were | |
sent off to a home. The children there did not have parents, were all | |
alike and always staring, as they sat on chairs above the ground. So they | |
cried and then with drew fromhose that shouted, laughed and who were mean | |
because of suffering inside. Once alone they heard some children shouting | |
that a car had killed one of their pets out in the road ahead. As they | |
approached the fallen body, blood appeared and then they saw a leg that | |
had been torn away somehow. So they kneeled upon the ground and lifted up | |
the leg they found and wedged it gently just below the spot where both | |
their shoulders joined together. Then the sun, which had been setting, | |
winked and for a moment all was dark. And when the sun returned above | |
them, no one laughed and made fun of them, for the dog was licking at the | |
joint, barking loud and resurrected and causing them to be respected by | |
those who had avoided them before. |
