He has false teeth and prays for twenty minutes before every meal, asks for help from the Creator for everyone, beginning with the orphan children and ending with the servicemen and servicewomen out there, your one-thousand-per-cent-Indian dad, who cries only in ceremony and has bad knees, which took a turn for the worse when you were ten and he laid concrete in your back yard for a basketball court.

Then, with leather on our hands, we walked to the street, between whatever trees they were, along Vesper, to toss the ball back and forth, tossed without talk— as I would toss to my daughter forty years later in the back yard on the opposite coast, as silently— the sound of the ball popping the leather in the silence below the summer Valley trees, an occasional pale-colored car sliding past us, unnoticed down Vesper.
