Detroit, 1972.
Downstairs, the old man with three
teeth is yelling. Being upstairs is sometimes no better than being
downstairs. He and his son are arguing again. He don't speak English
too good. By nine, his beer has been guzzled, becoming an authority
of his own. Meaningless words fly back and forth. Reason is replaced
by loudness. His life belongs to the kitchen table he sits at,
night after night.
When he was twenty-two, he must
have thought of more than a kitchen table and white T-shirts.
Didn't his youthful dreams search for much more? Or did he never
sleep, only to lie awake, staring into the blackness, never dreaming. |
