Michael had a
gold tooth
, and i tried not to
fixate
on it when he talked to me. He used to be a
boxer
, and he told me that the tooth was kind of a
trademark
for him then.
He told me he was the
black sheep
in his family, which seemed to have been mid-sized and
lower-middle class
. He told me about setting
kittens
on fire. But don't get the wrong idea: he was very interested in the way things should be, and
understanding goodness
. His
passion
when i knew him was
portraiture
... he had been drawing faces from magazines in pencil, and his was the first room in
the house
that i saw. There were
rigid
facial portraits in pencil hanging on the walls. He liked to draw
celebrities
, and i have one of his portraits on the wall in my apartment:
Meg Ryan
. It looks kind of like
Kathy Bates
, say most people (and it scares them), and that was also my
first instinct
, but my second instinct was to be honored. He somehow thought i was a deep and philosophical person. He gave me a beautiful
fuzzy
orange
plant, but somehow it died: luckily it was still orange, so looking from his
porch
to my
balcony
that summer, you could not tell.
I don't know when he left
Cherry Street
. I just don't know, and i feel guilty that i don't.
