Loving me is something She has always done, but with a sharp manner that hides the tenderness I sometimes cry for. ‘My Mother is not a woman so much as she is a ficld of energy. Mom isa force, a kind of aura that only takes human form to be that much more in- timidating, An order to cut the grass is not a re- ‘quest but an international doctrine, and She sits at the helm of an aircraft carrier just waiting for a rebellious child to give her reason for an atomic strike. Making us cut the grass is her method of control, There lies, somewhere beneath the tile of our kitchen, a proverbial bag of chores just wai ing to be opened, like Pandora's Box. I am in con- stant fear that, one day, a refusal to mow will burst ‘that bag wide open and spill hell into my life, so T do whatever I'm told. These responsibilities have become more ofa tradition than a job, so I can't mind them; God forbid I break that custom. The sun bakes me like a scone on early August days, but smiles down on the Mother weeding eggplant ‘Treacy: She Keele Peruse tere trae haere rd CNR area ee eee Pee) Seer eee era eee Cee ee ee oa eae eee) and the neighbors selling lemonade under an oak. She works like a madwoman in the garden and still keeps an eye on whichever unlucky child has a job outside. When all is said and done, the yard (My Mother is has grown to the heavens, leaving me to give it the haircut of a lifetime under the omniscient eye from amongst the bean rows. It isa task that takes a light- year, but after three hours in the field I'll gladly accept the neighbor's lem- onade, no matter what's floating in it. The com. mon image is me standing at attention and She a drill sergeant inspecting my work, looking for any surviving dandelion to give me away. | imag- ine She would love to find a single uncut weed to justify beating the shag out of me with the garden hose. But then, smiling a smile that would have wilted the grass anyway, She goes to get a beer and watch me finish off the front yard. There are some unexplainable phenomena between the two of us. These things I've grown accustomed to but have never understood, It’s all to do with her. No one else can really grasp just how weird our relationship is, because no one else has ever gone through another like it.
