sit down thank you you're very kind it's
all for you
I'm not hungry go ahead
you you eat like a bird and you know of
course no not really
anyway I hear the expression eats like a
bird is really a fault fall false
falsity because birds really eat a
tremendous lot but how to really know
anything about birds
my hobby is stuffing things you know
taxidermy and I guess I'd just rather
stuffed birds because I hate the look of
beasts when they're stuffed you know
foxes and chimps some some people even
stuffed dogs and cats but oh I can't do
that
I think only birds look well stuffed
because well because they're kind of
passive to begin with it's a strange
hobby curious
I'm common too well I imagine so and
it's it's not as expensive as you'd
think it's cheap really you know needles
thread sawdust the chemicals are the
only thing that could cost anything a
man should have a hobby but it's more
than a hobby how are you supposed to
pass the time not fill it it's your time
so empty no well I run the office and
tend the cabins and grounds and and do
little errands for my mother the one she
allows that might be capable of doing
did you go out with friends well a boy's
best friend is his mother you've never
had an empty moment in your entire life
have you
only my share where are you going
I didn't mean to pry I'm looking for a
private island
what are you running away from why do
you ask that
people never run away from anything the
rain didn't last long did it
you know what I think I think that we're
all in our private traps clamped in them
and none of us can ever get out we
scratch and claw but only at the air
only at each other and for all of it
we never budge an inch sometimes we
deliberately step into those traps I was
born in mine I don't mind it anymore oh
but you should you should mind it oh I
do but I say I don't you know if anyone
ever talked to me the way I heard it's
the way she spoke to you sometimes when
she talks to me like that I figured I'd
like to go up there and cursor and and
and leave her forever or at least a fire
but I know I can't she's ill she sounded
strong no I mean ill she had to raise me
all by yourself after my father died I
was only five and it must have been
quite a strain for her she didn't have
to go to work or anything like that he
left her a little money anyway a few
years ago mother met this man and he he
talked her into building this moto he
could have talked her into anything and
when he died too it was just too great a
shock for her and the way he died I
guess there's nothing to talk about
while you're eating anyway it was just
too great a loss for her she had nothing
left except you my son is a poor
substitute for a lover why don't you go
away to a private island like you know
not like me I couldn't do that
who'd look after her she'd be alone up
there the fire would go out it'd be cold
and damp like a grave if you love
someone you don't do that to them even
if you hate them you understand I don't
hate her
I hate what she's become I hate the
illness
wouldn't it be better if you put her
someplace you mean an institution a
madhouse
people always call him madhouse some
place don't they put her in some place
I'm sorry I didn't mean it to sound and
caring what do you know about caring
have you ever seen the inside of one of
those places laughing in the tears and
the cruel eyes studying you mind mother
there but she's harmless
she's as harmless as one of those
stuffed birds I am sorry I only felt it
seems she's hurting you
I meant well people always mean well
they collect their thick tongues and
shake their heads and suggest oh so very
delicately
of course I've suggested it myself but I
hate to even think about it she needs me
it's not as if she were a maniac a
raving things she just goes a little mad
sometimes we all go a little mad
sometimes haven't you yes sometimes just
one time can be enough thank you
Thank You Norman
