I flicked past all the news and then a couple of game shows. 
I watched part of a cartoon with a cartoon mouse tricking a 
cartoon cat. I held the bottle the whole time, rocking slowly 
back and forth. I found a channel with people I recognized, 
faces I knew. It was an old black and white movie.  I watched 
five or ten minutes of that, then I pushed the bottle lower. I 
held it between my thighs, tilting the neck up, careful not to 
shake it. I twisted the top to see if that came off, but it 
didn't. I remembered the way champagne used to tickle my nose, 
the bubbles popping, and that first slippery taste on the back 
of my tongue. I thought about Bobo picking me up, and everybody 
making a circle around us while he swung me and swung me like I 
had no weight. Like I was just something in orbit and he was my 
sun.
