The Egg
I have no doubt that my father was born to be a happy, caring person. He worked as a farmhand for Thomas Butterworth, whose property was close to the Ohio town of Bidwell, until he was thirty-four years old. He drove into town on Saturday nights with his own horse at the time to engage in some social interaction with other farm workers. He drank three glasses of beer in the city while loitering in Ben Head's bar, which was frequently packed on Saturday nights with travelling agricultural labourers. Glasses banged on the bar as songs were sung. Father drove home at ten o'clock over a lonely rural road, prepared his horse for the night, and then retired to bed, content in his place in life. At the moment, he had no intention of attempting to advance in society.

Guilt
If walls could talk, I would say goodbye. I can’t imagine what I look like anymore. There must be at least three or four different paints stacked on top of me. They’ve covered up my scars where old cabinets and fixtures were installed. I can feel the screws and nails and scrapes and scuffs that have been so cleverly hidden. I remember the time they ripped me open so I could be filled with pipes. I long for my brother whom they tore down so they could move freely from the kitchen into the dining room and the TV room. As much as I must look different from my first days, so much more do the people who’ve lived here.
