so the new moon is a turning point in the unraveling that feels fated, beyond control. grandma weezie said the only book you need is the bible. i read thousands, cracker, i said, and there's a universe of the word, awaiting. her head would spin at the things i read. my head would spin in the bible. she sent money to reagan for god sake. anyway let's not talk about that now. the family is coming home, they've had it. mom will stay home with her deranged hub, her chosen fate, beyond control.
