11. review the excerpt
even though dad's coffin was empty, his closet was full. and even after
more than a year, it still smelled like shaving. i touched all of his white
t-shirts. i touched his fancy watch that he never wore and the extra laces
for his sneakers that would never run around the reservoir again. i put my
hands into the pockets of all of his jackets (i found a receipt for a cab, a
wrapper from a miniature krackle, and the business card of a diamond
supplier). i put my feet into his slippers. i looked at myself in his metal
shoehorn. the average person falls asleep in seven minutes, but i couldn't
sleep, not after hours, and it made my boots lighter to be around his things,
and to touch stuff that he had touched, and to make the hangers hang a
little straighter, even though i knew it didn't matter
