#1 I loved to fly, and I wanted to be the one who opened those cabinets above the seats. I would get to serve peanuts in small foil packets and offer people small plastic cups of soda.

#2 I love my mother’s bag. It is filled with papers and her wallet, cigarettes, and at the bottom, where she never looks, there is loose change, loose mints, and tobacco from her cigarettes.

#3 I am like that lady on TV, Maude, except my mother doesn’t have all those chins under her chins, all those loose expressions hanging off her face. I am a star like Maude.

#4 I will read a poem from her book, with her distinctive and refined Southern inflection. I will turn off all the lights in the house, go into my bedroom, and close the door. I will stand in the light of my desk lamp and look at myself in the mirror.
