Whenever I could get away, I would. I would sneak off in the middle of the night while my father hunched over his computers and scratched his head until it left blood underneath his fingernails. Amidst this fury he called the pursuit of Science, I pursued knowledge, a way out and I would spend as much time at the library as I could. I was ridiculed, something unavoidable I suppose, for preferring the company of books and papers, huge chronicles of what was largely outdated and useless information were my safety, my comfort.

Montgomery was my oldest brother, oldest of thirteen and certainly the smartest and most ethical. I remember him always looking so tired.

Yesterday you smiled at me for the first time, the sun gleaming in your hair and I think you meant it too. You cut your hair then and it was short like a boys and while other people laughed I thought it was beautiful but I didn't tell you so. You wore jeans that were ripped and torn and got your lip pierced just because you wanted it that way, and then you took my hand and we went deaf together at a concert in a bar. Yesterday we blew off curfew to smoke on the hood of my car. Yesterday I called you fat just because I wanted to rile you up, and it worked. You leaped on top of me and called me a fagot, but I
you blew my mind so hard that my nose is bleeding.
