Off-balance
November 20, 2002i don’t know if it’s that i spoke to my grandma on the phone the other day and, while she is getting better, she still sounds so old and tired and far away, or that my father is still awaiting his biopsy results, or that i am turning 27 (TWENTY SEVEN) on friday, but i feel all sorts of wobbly lately, like a table with uneven legs. and i don’t know what to do about it. you can’t slip a folded napkin under the shortest leg to straighten me out. i think i just have to let myself wobble.
