From the Book: Departure He packed his suitcase before dawn today. Had the turntable loaded into the backseat and was carrying a speaker when the kids got up. Saturday morning, he should have expected it. They wanted to play hide-and-seek, but it was getting light and the Volkswagen was muttering. Excited to see him up so early, they wrestled his leg, never asking why he'd crammed all he owned into that shelled VW. Hand-stitched chapbook. Six Dollars.
