"It Was Great to Have You Home..."

Uh, what's this?

Table in the living room with Jack-in-the-pulpit

Oh, I was, I was going to draw that in this panel

Dear Al

What was I...?

It was great to have you home

What's this?

I've been flying high since you were here

I don't want to

Dear Al

I don't want to

I have to confess, I'm somewhat envious of this new freedom

What did it feel like to step in (That exists on campuses today)

Front of a truck, Dad?

What does it feel like (Dear Al, did you receive that)

To (Winograd article I sent you?)

See it coming right at you (You should have received it by now)

And not move (Do you know I was never even in New York)

And just let it hit you? (Until I was about twenty?)

Why? (Dear Al, I re-read Araby last night)

Was it because of me? (My God, that could have been me)

I was rather sensitive when I was little

I'm afraid it wasn't (Dear Al)

That's the crazy thing (I've been working like mad)

Dad (On that house since you left)

I'm afraid it wasn't (I can't think about much else)

I can't sleep

Dear Al—
