[Loudon Wainwright, Jr.] If I remain still, if I’m alone and silent long enough to hear the sound of my own blood, or breathing, or digestion, above the rustling of leaves or the whirr of the refrigerator, my father is likely to turn up. He just arrives unbidden in the long-running film of my thoughts, like Hitchcock in his pictures, and he looks, for all these 40-plus years of disembodiment, much like himself: big and sandy-haired with freckles on the backs of his hands; perhaps a bit more diffident in the way he holds himself than I remember. He doesn’t stay long, and as far as I can tell, his visits have no message. Yet even though years of therapy have led me to make the dark-whistling claim that he’s finally dead and gone, my father, who died when I was seventeen, continues to be my principle ghost, a lifelong eminence grise, and only my own end will finish it. [Loudon Wainwright III] Older than my old man now He died at 63, that’s way too young Now you gotta feed me, now you gotta need me And I feel like a faithless son Sixty-four is awful old You know what can happen next Hey, I’m older than my old man ever was And I’m trying to keep it in context
