My
father
picked
me
up
from
school
one
day
and
we
played
hookey
and
went
to
the
beach.
It
was
too
cold
to
go
in
the
water,
so
we
sat
on
a
blanket
and
ate
pizza.
When
I
got
home
my
sneakers
were
full
of
sand
and
I
dumped
it
on
my
bedroom
floor.
I
didn't
know
the
difference,
I
was
six.
My
mother
screamed
at
me
for
the
mess
but
he
wasn't
mad.
He
said
that
billions
of
years
ago
the
world's
shifting
and
ocean
moving
brought
that
sand
to
that
spot
on
the
beach
and
then
I
took
it
away.
Every
day
he
said
we
change
the
world.
Which
is
a
nice
thought
until
I
think
about
how
many
days
and
lifetimes
I
would
need
to
bring
a
shoe
full
of
sand
home
until
there
is
no
beach.
Until
it
made
a
difference
to
anyone.
Every
day
we
change
the
world.
But
to
change
the
world
in
a
way
that
means
anything
-
that
takes
more
time
than
most
people
have.
It
never
happens
all
at
once.
It's
slow.
It's
methodical.
It's
exhausting.
We
don't
all
have
the
stomach
for
it.
The replay is still saving.
