father
once and found out that he
had recently
won the Virginia state lottery.
a few hundred
thousand dollars.
they had him on a stage
holding a giant
oversized check for
the photo shoot.
he looked bewildered,
worried perhaps that his
nine children
would find out.
but below his name
and the lottery photo was
my older brother's name,
with a junior at the end.
and an article about how
he was trying to pass
a law to keep gambling
out of
Tennessee.
Tennessee.
life is funny like that.
