A child is sleeping: an old man gone.

"Just who started this damn-fool pissing contest anyway," she asked, "your father who's been gone ten years?" 

"That's not the point," I said, "that's not the goddamn --"

"No," she said, hotly, "just because for the last forty years him and then you've mowed that patch of grass you claim is on our property, when you  know damn well it ain't, doesn't mean you can just send your son out there for Williams to shout off his lawn -- you can't do that to him, you can't."
