I noticed some lines drawn on the inside of a closet door in my new apartment. The building dates from the 1950s. The lines were the height measurements of a prior resident, a boy named Brandon. He was around 4 feet and 8 inches in 1981 and around 5 feet and 1 inch in 1983, which is the last mark with a date. The last undated mark shows him getting close to 6 feet. Somewhere out there is a tall man, just a little younger than I, who became a man in this place, my new home. Where did your life take you, dear Brandon?
