Laura Kasischke Quotes
Once, Complaining That His Mother Tried To Do Things That Blind People Should Not Attempt, Like Lighting Candles At Christmas, He Said, "My Mother Wants To Have Her Blindness And Eat It, Too." I Imagined Phil's Mother Spooning Blindness Into Her Own Open Mouth Like Devil's Food Cake. But Without Texture Or Weight. Bittersweet And Rich. Another Time He Said, Regarding His Father's Late Support Checks, That Calling Him In Texas Wouldn't Help, It Would Just Make The Checks Even Later. "It's A Vicious Circus," Phil Said. When I Asked If He Thought That Perhaps Writing A Letter, Explaining Their Situation - The Mortgage Payment Late Again, The Electric Company Calling - Might Help, He Said, "I'm Virtuously Certain It Wouldn't," Looking Martyred And Older Than His Years.
