dad can i have 30 bucks for my pal the grown man in the alleyway
by watching him through the corner of his eye, he hears ezekiel ( dina likes to call him ezekiel ) speak. the child is peripheral, because he exists in the future. he's something belongs to the future, to the world beyond the walls.
it is hard to see him. even as he loves him, loves the idea of him, will love him properly at a different age. even as he asks things like this : dad can i have 30 bucks for my pal the grown man in the alleyway.
' tell your pal, the grown man in the alleyway to get a job, ' grisha says ( you know, like a well respected member of society ).
