My wallet lays open between a lamp and a musty bible, the pocketworn condom inside staring at me like my grandmother's clouded eye. "It's called a cataract, and you will give her a kiss!" My mother barges into my mind, I'm 7 and terrified of grandma's eye."Do you know 50% percent of Chinese people have cataracts?" I'm 16, getting high in my friend's garage. He is about to deliver the punchline of the funniest joke he will tell in his life. He will tell it at least once a week for the rest of his life. "Yeah, the other half drive a rexus!"
The line of sun moves across the floor. Cadillac? Lexus? What had grandma said that day? My shoes are sitting neatly next to each other, but one sock is on my foot and the other seems to have been closed in the door and left there. Strange thoughts on dark highways, they drift like a willow in a whipping wind. She smiles. The eye glows of death.
Shoes in a line, missing one sock. Why in the door? Grandma had winked, removing the death for a moment, making it more horrible in it's return. I ran screaming. How am i here now? The ice has spilled into the heater, the best we can hope for is a damp fire. "the other half drive a REXUS!!!"
I smile as i hear it yet again.
One on, one in the door. Open wallet with a lonely condom. Shoes in line with the world. Cheap blankets on cheaper sheets, cheap life on cheaper circumstances. The faucet will always drip. Mother drags me back to the room. The death in the eye terrifies me, and i cry. Grandma talks about harvesting strawberries in the blizzard.
I'm leaving the sock in the door.

"Cheap blankets on cheaper sheets, cheap life on cheaper circumstances. The faucet will always drip."
Tooting my own horn here, but I really like the sound of that.
