I turned my knife over in my graduate palm. Al never asked me graduate questions, the fucker. “Why aren’t you with graduate her?” Al repeated. What a lame conversation. I just wanted to sell this kid some Gatorade, damn it. “College, it’s what I’m… I mean my parents…and it’s only four years…” Then we all three got real quiet and nothing happened for maybe a whole minute, which is a long time of quiet. When Al finally spoke, he never raised his voice above that low drawl of his. And I listened because maybe for the first time, Al wasn’t just talking; he was saying something. “There’s a lot of stuff today making it easy for folks to move around. That’s why no one uses pay phones anymore; they don’t go anywhere. There are cell phones and tiny computers... And I reckon everybody wants to get somewhere. Get educated...Get rich.” Al stopped and looked at us, both of us.
