...and i caught a glimpse of him walking over the hill at 8:16 or 8:36, in the blue sweatshirt Grandma gave me. The trees were in full bloom and the sun was already sneaking looks through the canopy, onto his sholders and onto the road. I caught him for a split second but he was looking away. I knew he was walking to school becasue he didnt have a ride, I had the feeling it was very very early in the morning, he shouldnt have been up yet, but it was supposed to physically be 8:36. And he thought, (and he was already out of sight before the presence left me) "I like it in the morning the most, before the sun comes up, becasue there is nobody around to tell me who they think I should be"...and it was dark in the space between his ears, he liked it that way, so it didnt matter.
