Differences-Dialogue Only


"Why do you dislike the country so much?" 
"Same reason I could guess you dislike the city, if you tweak it a bit." 
"Oh, like I don't like too many people and you don't like it if there aren't enough?" 
"Precisely." 
"Why do you like people?" 
"It's just as peaceful when there are too many people than when there aren't enough. No one notices you, but you can look, all the same." 
"How is it the same?" 
"Because it can sometimes be so full, it's empty." 
"That doesn't make any sense." 
"You'll understand, someday."
"You're only seven years older than me, you know. Mom and Dad and I know you aren't slick." 
"I know. It's still enough." 
"Is it?"
"Good question." 
"You're impossible." 
"I love you too, kid."

    I got home from work at nine o’clock and decided that I would go down, through the gate, across the creek–socks mushy all of a sudden in my Adidas sneakers–and into the meadow for a walk without stopping to see anyone.

  • Wait

    It's summertime in Montana, and because we ranch, because animals and plants and the weather are on their own time, I sit around and wait a lot.

  • DN24 R6

    I drink soda probably way too much. It's sitting here beside me in the car, full to the top of the Pepsi symbol, and the condensation is making the cup-holder damp. DN24, the light post says in front of the car. R6.
