The Staircase on MAX
Ohwow startled him Have you ever heard anything so honest
Wha . what are you talking about?
Were watching the same show
Well, obviously I wasn’t
impressed.
Did you hear
Hear?
What did you hea . .
.
. Thawas so freakin honestStop the show she
was the keeper of the remote misplaced it once and found it under the kitchen
sinkgobsmacked hasnt misplaced it since
stopped
it
Awright You said you heard
Yes.
The subject matter they were discussing waswha
Their father’s sexuality.
His bisexuality
And him exercising his homosexuality outside
his marriage to their mother who their father firmly insisted had accepted
But shes dead
They have to take his word for it
It’s their father.
Like fathers don lie
Like
mothers brothers sisters aunts uncles cousinsmost everyone walkinround on a pair
of legs ass parked in a wheelchair laidup in bed
You expect people to lie.
I expect they served their best
interests Some are acquired easier by
lying ansince theyre the product they do not have to produce fine print or reveal
their side effects
I can’t believe you just said
that.
Do you think I lie?
Not to me
Not to you?
Not to me
Because you know the ramifications
I woudnt
lie to youput off stave one moment of being uncomfortable being honest with you
Truth can be ugly can be hurtfu . .
.
. And you don’t pull punches.
As Ive said as you know
So what did I miss or didn’t impress me as much
as it impressed you?
His sister wants to talk with her
father about his sexuality
Yes.
He said Yeah, you want to have that conversation?
I’ll
be one hundred miles away.
Terribly
honest
Not necessarily
right but terribly honest
