Finally I couldn't take it anymore"Say something,
Wireman
But when he looked up from the portrait, I
realized it was trueHe looked like someone had
walloped him on the head with a hammerI
understood by then that what I was doing affected
people, but none of those reactions were quite
like Wireman's on that March morning
What finally woke him up was a sharp knocking
soundShe was awake and rapping
on her tray"Smoke! Smoke!"
Some things survived even the fog of Alzheimer's,
it seemedThe part of her brain that craved
nicotine never decayedShe'd smoke until the end
Wireman took a pack of American Spirits from the
pocket of his shorts, shook dolce and gabbana bucket handbag one out, put it in his
mouth, and lit itThen he held it out to her"If
I let you handle this yourself, are you going to
light yourself on fire, Miss Eastlake?"

"Smoke!"
"That's not very encouraging, dear
But he gave it to her, and Alzheimer's or no
Alzheimer's, she handled it like a pro, drawing in
a deep drag and jetting it out through her
nostrilsThen she settled back in her chair,
looking for the moment not like Captain Bligh on
the poop deck but FDR on the reviewing standAll
she needed was a cigarette-holder to clamp between
her teethAnd, of course, some teeth
Wireman returned his gaze to the portrait"You
don't seriously mean to just hermes birkin 35cm give this away, do
you? You can'tIt's incredible work
"It's yours," I said
"You have to put it in your show
"I don't know if that's such a good idea-"
"You yourself said once they're done, any effect
on the subject's probably over-"
"Yeah, probably
"Probably's good enough for me, and the Scoto's
safer than this houseEdgar, this deserves to be
seenHell, it needs to be seen
"Is it you, Wireman?" I was honestly curious He stood looking at it a moment longer
Then he turned to me"It's how I wanted to be
Maybe it's how I was, on the few best days of my
best year He added, almost reluctantly: "My most
idealistic year
For a little while we said replica prada handbags nothing, only looked at
the portrait while Elizabeth puffed like a choochoo
trainAn old choo-choo train
Then Wireman said: "There are many things I wonder
about, EdgarSince coming to Duma Key, I have
more questions than a four-year-old at bedtime
But one thing I don't wonder about is why you want
to stay hereIf I could do something like this,
I'd want to stay here forever
"Last year at this time I was doodling on phone
pads while I was on hold," I saidTell me something, muchachoand thinking of all the other ones
you've done since you startedwould you change
the accident that took your arm? Would you change
it, even if you could?"
I thought of louis vuitton diaper bag tote painting in Little Pink while The
Bone pumped out hardcore rock and roll in thick
chunksI thought of the Great Beach WalksI even

thought of the older Baumgarten kid yelling Yo, Mr
Freemantle, nice chuck! when I spun the Frisbee
back to himThen I thought of waking up in that
hospital bed, how dreadfully hot I had been, how
scattered my thoughts had been, how sometimes I
couldn't even remember my own nameThe
dawning realization (it came during The Jerry
Springer Show), that part of my body was AWOLI
had started crying and had been unable to stop
"I would change it back," I said, "in a
heartbeat And turned to
