M

M draws itself painfully up on two legs and manages to stand. Therefore M is the patron of words that imply a task or duty that is difficult to satisfy or fulfill. M is for Marilyn, my step-mother. M is for Marenna, a good friend. M is for Maria, my ex-wife. M is for Moving.
The second time my mother runs away, she doesn't take much at all: only two loosely packed suitcases, one in either hand. Travelling, I realize the wisdom in this: if there is too much luggage, you get caught. If one side is too heavy, you keep veering like Marilyn. If you keep veering, you never reach your destination.
