First Generation Shirt — Every Door Is The First Time

Nobody in the family had done it before you. There was no one to ask what the form meant, or whether the offer was good, or how any of it worked.

A ladder runs the length of the back. The four lowest rungs are missing — and at the bottom, two working hands are nailing a new one into place. That is the whole story: the ones before you did not get to climb, so you build the part that was never there.
