thirty-eight; Morgan, Dad's Old Red Steel Commuter


Waiting for his friends on the fringes of campus, he says this year is going considerably better than the previous three.
He goes to one of those “transitional” high schools that you read about in the newspaper and suddenly feel better about paying your taxes.
He speaks insightfully about the problematic structure and focus of public education in America.
I ask him how he likes his school and he tells me,
“It would be better if it weren’t in Piedmont, its hard to relate when every other car is a Mercedes or a Lexus. That’s just not the real world”
