There is a blind accordion player on the Number 6 train. He opens the door of the car, stumbling, and then stands for a minute swaying until he begins to play. He plays and walks very slowly down the length of the car, bumping into every pole unless a hand reaches out to guide him past it. He does this down the whole length of the train, over and over, every day.
My mother makes pumpkin pies from no recipe. Gutting the pumpkin, cutting it into chunks, cooking it in a cast-iron pot, checking the stove. Sometimes pumpkin pie for lunch and dinner, sometimes pumpkin soup. She brings in the buckets of potatoes, she lines up all the new eggs by the sink and washes them gently. She is so thin that her ribs are deep ridges. Sometimes, she tells me, she remembers and makes up for it by eating some butter.
