“i watched my dad die. i watched a man die. i held the hand of a dead body. i was alive next to a corpse. i laughed because i knew i would never be able to explain it. my dad doesn't have a grave except the one inside my lungs. i visit the cemetery anyway. i sit next to the oldest gravestone and open up a book to read. i say out loud, hello, and am always surprised when no one answers.” — Ollie Schminkey
i watched my dad die.
i watched a man die.
i held the hand of a dead body.
i was alive next to a corpse.
i laughed because i knew i would never be able to explain it.
my dad doesn't have a grave except the one inside my lungs.
i visit the cemetery anyway.
i sit next to the oldest gravestone and open up a book to read.
i say out loud, hello, and am always surprised when no one answers.
