One hour down, five more to go. Berkeley to Los Angeles. I am driving far away from my son for the first time since he was born.

I start to cry.

I can’t untangle the relief from the grief from the anxiety from the silence.

Because he is that kid.

The one who climbs out of a three-story window if it’s open, who scales the fence to see what is on the other side, who picks up the knife just because it is sitting there, who runs out into the street and almost gets hit by a car, who sees a mushroom growing in the grass and quickly eats it.

The monotony of time and of the road feel alien. I can barely keep my eyes open. I pull off the I-5 freeway and into the Apricot Tree parking lot. I lock the doors and take a disco nap.
