[quote=Anonymous][b]The Great Wave of Kanagawa:

[size=big]Your mother, who is not old–who is not that old–if you heard her age spoken aloud, without context, you might think of it as old,

but in the context of your mother is not that old, because she is very active and looks ten years younger than she is and sometimes doesn’t

return your calls for a few days because she doesn’t want to be one of those overbearing mothers–your mother who is not that old

dies in her own   house during a heat wave the summer you turn 45, which is truly ridiculous.

You have air conditioning in your house. She could have

come over to your house, if you had known, if you had driven over to get her.

You didn’t even know how hot it was that week, not even when

you read about the record-setting temperatures, not even when you heard about the fifteen elderly people who died from the heat in

Chicago because your mother was not an elderly person and she would have called you, she absolutely would have called you, if she needed

you, if she had been in trouble.[/b][/size]
