:24:03
and set her on the porch
in a rocking chair...
:24:08
and let her watch
the seasons come and go.
:24:13
From springtime till snow,
she could relish it all.
:24:17
White lilacs...
:24:20
early rhubarb.
:24:23
That's the quiet
sort of thing she liked.
:24:29
She could read too.
Read fine books.
:24:37
But there was never the time.
:24:42
"Oh, dear, this is undone
and that's undone."
:24:45
And, "Glenn, where's
my mind gone nowadays?"
:24:50
She said I'd go to college too.
:24:55
Now there's a laugh.
:24:58
She was bugged on learning, ma'am.
:25:03
And then,just before
my ninth birthday...
:25:11
she died and left me.
:25:18
Her death was a quick one.
:25:24
Did you want
to go to college, Glenn?
:25:29
If you don't mind, ma'am,
the heart's out of it, and I'll leave.
:25:35
Could I come back
another time?
:25:38
Oh, of course.
:25:41
Monday, around noon?
:25:46
Yes, ma'am.
