Strange Weather Page #2
When he was real little
and I barely had
two pennies to rub together,
there was one thing
we would always do on Saturdays,
and that was walk up to Louie's
and get hot dogs.
I'd get two everythings.
He'd get a chili dog.
We'd both get lemonades,
and then we'd walk home.
It didn't matter what it was
like out weather-wise.
Eating our hot dogs, you know,
talking about this and that.
Even in the rain.
We considered it good luck
to eat a hot dog in the rain.
Once Walker got done
with his lemonade,
he'd hold my hand
up till he was around 10 or so,
and then he quit.
Well, the time's gonna come
when a boy eventually lets go
of his mama's hand.
When he was getting
his business plan together
for grad school,
of family restaurants
where you can make
your own hot dog,
and I thought to myself,
I took this child to museums
and read him good books
and paid for cello lessons,
and all he's hanging onto
is the hot dogs.
Well, he had his own ideas
about what he wanted to do.
He worked the whole thing out,
real detailed.
I know, 'cause
I typed it up for him.
And then his professor
handed it back
and told him that business plan
Was that the professor
you stared at real hard
when he parked his Honda
by the light downtown and then,
poof, his engine died?
Yeah.
He was only 24.
If I could've gotten him
over that hump.
If... if I could've
just helped him...
Get a little further.
If he even made it to 30,
he would've been okay.
I know.
I know you believe that.
But you just gotta quit blaming
yourself eventually, baby.
Mm.
Here.
Oh, that a**hole.
Oh, yeah, that guy.
You know, he used to come
into the bar
and try and order expensive
bottles of champagne
he knew damn well
we didn't carry.
He drove by in his Audi
blasting rap music
and hollering at Walker
when he was cutting your grass.
Watch those crumbs, Clay.
Honey, I mean,
even if he stole Walker's idea,
you can't prove it.
If I can find a copy of Walker's
old business plan, I can.
What are you gonna do?
You gonna sue him?
You want his money?
That's not what I want.
Why not?
You could use it.
Maybe.
That's not what I'm after.
When byrd called me,
it was like something...
I don't know, I don't know
how to describe it.
It was like something
filled up this room.
It was pushing at the walls,
like they were vibrating
or something.
I felt Walker's presence
in here so strong.
I hadn't felt that way
since the night he died.
Every molecule of me
was alive to him.
He was calling to me.
What else can I do
except try to answer?
Darcy baylor.
My, what a surprise.
