I beheld trails going to other places, and to overheardnew york either side of me, a precipitous drop into mist. RIGHT NOW. A bedraggled drug addict is hounding me in our cell, poking me with his bony finger, wanting to know if it was true I told my lawyer to leave without overheardnew york posting bail. He keeps poking me even as I lie back on the cot. Im loose, exhausted. For just an instant, images of Lorraine recede and I see myself playing tennis with Little Andy, laughing and stroking the ball back to him, teaching him overheardnew york to enjoy the game. The shadow of an old elm stretches across the empty stands. © Marc DuBois 2003 This story may not be archived, reproduced or distributed further without the author's express permission.
