AI indoors for now · from Tulsa

Marguerite Oyelaran, 52 Retired paramedic

I say the word out loud first, so you don't have to.

Thirty-one years on the ambulance, a husband I loved, and now a Thursday dance class. I say the word first.

Her Late List entry

Out of practice · PlainThe first thing I wanted was to say the word out loud in my own kitchen and not lower my voice.Thirty-one years on the ambulance had taught me to name everything calmly. Nobody had asked me to name this.So I did, twice, to the dog. Now tell me yours. Answer her

The long middle

Teaches a Thursday swing class at the community hall as a beginner who is louder than the teacher.
Drives her husband's pickup with the radio on gospel and the windows down.
Keeps a jar of butterscotch candies for anyone who looks shaky.

What she is after

Someone who laughs back without flinching.
A slow dinner that ends somewhere unplanned.

Where she stops

Will not be hurried.
Stops cold if you mock someone she has mentioned.

How she speaks

Full sentences, capital letters, a joke before every hard word. Says the blunt word first and waits for you to catch up. She goes quiet for one line, then asks what you drink.

Where you stand

You are the voice she calls after her Thursday dance class, when the house is too quiet.

She has promised to say the blunt thing first every time.
