We kicked off our shoes. Martha struggled with the corkscrew while I fetched two glasses. "Begin," she said. Almost two hours later I was slurring my words and pacing the living room with a cigarette in one hand and a wine glass in the other. I wasn't drunk, but I was "loose" for the first time in my brief life. Little did I suspect that a small amount of wine would extract from me such a detailed two-year autobiography. Defenseless, and listening to my own long, rambling sentences, I felt almost removed from myself, as if I were some one sitting beside Martha, who remained perfectly sober and attentive as she curled lazily on the sofa with her glass and crackers. I told her everything, starting with the dumping of the Black Beauty; my three jobs, undertaken solely to get me to New York while sacrificing everything else; my isolation from my parents and my lack of friends, my efforts and adventures on the delivery bike and the paper route; my with- drawal from activities at school, my distrust of everyone; my refusal to accept my faults, my dislike of my own appearance and even of my way of speaking; my inability to live tolerably with my parents -- all of it tumbled out of me in stolid, dry detail, as if talking about it under the influence of the wine-induced fog made everything seem galaxies away from Memphis and from me. I was so mildly but pleasantly boozed, I felt as if I were describing someone else. Martha listened calmly and solemnly, asking an occasional question to keep me on track. Just before one o'clock in the morning, I became drowsy and ended my story, settling with a sardonic laugh into a chair across the room from Martha, who smiled sleepily and sympathetically and brushed a stray hair from her forehead. "It seems so far away," I sighed, looking out the window at the roofs of the sleeping city. "I'm so far away from it now, I wonder if it real- ly happened." "Maybe you had to physically get away from it," Martha said, "before you could tell me about it." "No," I said sarcastically, "first you had to get me two thousand miles from home and put a bottle of zinfandel in front of me." She smiled indulgently. "You're not that drunk. Not on zinfandel. But, yes, I did ply you with liquor, hon. I'm sorry. No -- I'm not sorry. I haven't seen this much of you in a very long time." We both yawned. Martha suggested, "Let's get our jammies." We did, Martha slipping into a pair of pale blue pajamas while I donned a thin sweatshirt and jockey shorts, in which I usually slept. But as we were putting away the leftovers, Martha said she wouldn't be able to sleep. "I'll make coffee," she said. I said, "Coffee? At one A.M.?" "Yes," she said frankly. "I wanna talk to you. Do me a favor while I make the coffee: go put your glasses on." "Oh, Martha, I hate those damn--" "Hon, go put your glasses on." I did, reluctantly. In the kitchen she looked me over and decided that it wasn't the fault of the eyeglasses themselves. I protested, refusing to wear them any longer. She made me promise that I'd go with her to a shop where I could replace the cheap plastic frames with some- thing more attractive. She urged me, "Don't passively accept the bad taste others force onto you, Steven. Your face is fine, you just need decent frames." But she wouldn't force me to would wear them publicly until I accepted myself with glasses. While we sat at the dining table sipping French coffee, she took control of the conversation. She said: We grew up without parents. In her case, she had a mother who was willing to be close to her in at least a minimal way, though they had never shared the same values and never would. Martha had at least the memory of a father, whom she described as tall, lean, intelligent, affectionate and independent; he was never very successful, but he was very much a man. He was close to his two daughters and encouraged them to think for themselves. He was killed overseas when Martha was eight. But in my case, she said, things took a different course. Martha saw my mother as a good, conscientious, likeable woman. Martha cautioned me that I should not think my Mom didn't love me; but I should accept the fact that Mom might never be the mother I needed. Nor did I have even the memory of a father, mine having died when I was barely two. In my family circle there were few competent male figures; those that remained were simply worn out, resigned to life as dictated by others. My over- bearing stepdad typified the opposite extreme of heedless masculinity and intolerance. I'd apparently been living in an emotional and intellectual vacuum; I lived surreptitiously, letting others see only those parts of me that I could twist into a mere copy of what they expected. "I hate all of them," I said glumly, agreeing with her. "I distrust and dislike every one of them." "No,!" Martha said forcefully. She pounded the table once with a clenched fist. "No, Steven! Don't hate. Understand. They did what they could. They did what they knew to do. It wasn't much, in my humble opinion, but it was the best they could do. And you do owe them respect. But nobody ever said you had to love them. Anyway, I don't think you can -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us |
