Parent-Teacher Conference
At the parent-teacher conference,
my father made a scene.

with his mask from Halloween.

Course they wouldn't have all the details, like whether or not they played in squares of sunlight on their walls, if they wore spiders on their hats, if they ate hamburger every other day, if they had ever made love in a yellow canola field tenderly or passionately or awkwardly. If they preferred dresses or pants, if they shaved their legs or didn't, or if they preferred red peppers to green. Stuff was happening. Even in Half-a-Life. Little things, but it all added up to something big. To our lives. It was happening all along. These were our lives. This was it.

If we did, we did. These were our lives. If we couldn't escape them, we'd have to live them. — Miriam Toews
