    The Boy's First Flight
    06.10.03

    One side of our house was desert
    And the other, the one facing east,
    Was Eden itself.
    I didn't know this until I bounced on a trampoline
    And landed on the garage roof, me the unpaid astronaut,
    Age nine, knees scuffed from a rough landing.
    I looked about, stunned. A breeze lived
    In the sycamore and a single-engine airplane
    Hung by a thread of exhaust in the darkening sky.
    This was 1961. I asked, "Is this for us?" meaning the bushel of stars,
    Pitched and pulsating their icy thorns. The moon was a tiger's tooth,
    Hooked in a frightening way. I walked back
    And forth on the roof, arms out for balance.
    I saw my cat and dog, and they saw me, perhaps in awe,
    Because they did lift their eyes to me.


    And now it's 1999, the end of the millennium,
    And it's certainly the end of my knees,
    Those springs long gone. A latch of rust groans in each knee-
    How they would love that payload of a taut trampoline.
    I see these children, how they jump, fall back, and jump again.
    If only I could sit on a roof, in summer,
    If only I could watch a Shuttle-what lever does the commander push
    To make a smile on his face, her face? I'm in the dark, literally,
    Ice cubes rattling in my tea. The crickets sing in the weeds,
    And soon the Shuttle, dime-bright, will lift off
    And pull away. My friends, my suited up pilgrims,
    What news will you bring?

    What Is A Best Friend By Christy

    13 images

    A friend is there for you
    through the good times and bad.

    A friend helps you to see
    that life isn't always so sad.

    A friend holds you up when
    you are falling down.

    A friend is there to help
    you and is always around.

    A friend is someone you can
    count on to always be there.

    A friend is someone who will
    understand you and always care.

    A friend will laugh with you
    and share your hurts and fears.

    A friend will hold you close
    and wipe away your tears.

    A friend is your confidante and
    always will be.

    You my dear, is a special
    friend to me.

    It was a grand old house, the ayemenem house, but aloof-looking .As though it had little to do with the people that lived in it. Like an old man with rheumy eyes watching children play,seeing only transience in their shrill elation and their whole hearted commitment to life.

    According to estha, if they'd been born on the bus,they'd have got free bus rides for the rest of their lives.
    It wasn't clearwhere he'd got this information from, or how he know these things ,but for years the twins harboured a faint resentment against their parents for having diddled them out of a lifetime of free bus rides.
