Indeterminacy 37



It was a Wednesday.

I was in the sixth
grade.
I overheard
Dad saying to Mother,
“Get
ready:
we’re going to
New Zealand Saturday.”
I got ready.

I read everything I
could find in the school
library about New
Zealand.
Saturday came.

Nothing happened.
The
project was not even
mentioned,
that day
or any succeeding day.
