Kelley White Switcheroo Your mother’s ring was too large to wear every day.  Certainly not in this city.  The diamond glinted big as a wristwatch. Flashed out morse code like a lighthouse.  I hollowed a hole in the pages of an old Physician’s Desk Reference, stuck it on the shelf by our bed.  I didn’t know you took it out till your new girl flashed her signal in my face.
