Spent the day with my dad and his old friend, Jim Wise. |
| [00:23.47] |
He's on house arrest and he sits around inside. |
| [00:30.98] |
We brought him food from Panera Bread, the snoring sun rolled out of bed. |
| [00:38.88] |
He talked about his ninety Corvette, his warehouse job, and his knee replacement. |
| [00:50.47] |
Jim Wise mercy killed his wife in a hospital at her bedside. |
| [00:58.17] |
And he put the gun to his head and it jammed and he didn't die. |
| [01:05.81] |
He went to trial all summer long and his eyes welled up when he told us about how much she loved the backyard garden and the budding rosebush. |
| [01:28.74] |
She loved the garden, and its budding rosebush. |

Spent the day with my dad, and his friend Jim Wise. |
| [01:46.16] |
Spent the day with my dad and his old friend, Jim Wise. |
| [01:53.60] |
He's got a big thick ankle bracelet and he can't go outside. |
| [02:01.17] |
He's got a long white Amish man's beard and a catheter. |
| [02:08.87] |
And he'll be headed to Mansfield prison by the end of the year for sure. |
| [02:17.32] |
His shelves are sticky old ratty boards. |
| [02:20.74] |
His albums are The Doors and Stevie Nicks. His kitchen cabinets are full of baked beans. |
| [02:29.34] |
His TV is sound, words flash across the screen and he stares off into dead air. |
| [02:37.28] |
Jim Wise killed his wife out of love for her at her bedside. |
| [02:44.62] |
And then he put the gun to his head but he failed at suicide. |
| [02:52.27] |
His trial's coming up in the fall and he sighed when we stepped out and we left. |
| [02:59.88] |
And I pointed out the pretty cardinal perched on the empty birdbath. |
| [03:13.76] |
The bright red cardinal, the empty birdbath. |
| [03:21.40] |
Spent today with my dad and his friend Jim Wise. |
