7. (a) I received my first taste of maturity about five or six years ago, but yet I can remember every detail. How old was I? About twelve. I used to go to Hines Veterans Hospital to play the piano, entertain the boys and give them cigarettes. Twelve years is a very young age; I was innocent of the things life entailed. One night in December, I entered the Hines Hospital with the purpose of entertaining the patients. I hopped up onto the movable piano ensemble, and
the head nurse wheeled me along the corridor to ward A. Each ward contained forty boys, and as we entered the first ward, I saw forty heads duck under the covers. The room was silent. Suddenly, one of the patients peeked out from beneath the covers and yelled, “Hey fellas, it’s only a kid”. In almost perfect unison, each man lifted his head from underneath his blanket. They greeted me with enthusiasm. I played a few ballads on the piano, and then with a sudden bang, I burst into a red-hot boogie-woogie piece. The sounds of loud appreciative applause and shouts clamouring for more came like the first sight of a “welcome” mat. I played two additional boogie-woogie pieces and I stopped.I reached for a large box filled with cigarettes and proceeded to distribute them to the veterans. One of the veterans had paralyzed hands, and he asked me
to light his cigarette clumsily, I pushed the cigarette between his lips and lit it for him. I lingered a few moments to exchange polite conversation with him.He said, “You know, honey, you’re the prettiest girl I’ve seen in a long time”. I was flattered; I blushed and walked away. Later, my young mind started to functions when a nurse mentioned to me that he was blind. The head nurse asked me to play for a patient down the hall. He was in a private room, and only the hopeless patients had private rooms. The piano was pushed just outside the room. He could see me but I could not see him. He requested boogie-woogie and with my throbbing thumb, I played boogie as though my blood kept in rhythm with each beat of music. How my thumb ached! The
beat, beat, beat of the pain again called out, “you are pretty; he is blind” “you are pretty; he is blind”. My thoughts were confused and I desperately wanted to stop playing. But I had to continue. Just at that moment, the head nurse whispered to me: “you may stop now. He can’t hear you any more”. That night I left the hospital with my first taste of maturity. I did not like it;
it was bitter.
