Family reunion of sorts. The kind that pulls distant cousin into each other’s orbit. We’re a long way from summer. A long way from fried chicken in a bucket in a park. A long way from a family tree in the corner connecting the vague lines between people. It’s November. Long after dark. The long dark of a junior high school hall. Two boys and a janitor are about to learn a white plastic grocery sack and a light bulb are distant cousins, once removed.
