In the Shape of a Killer
I’ve got kind of dubious credentials.
A message was being transmitted from
a time when all our public conventions remain rooted in
a hair-curlered woman on the evening news whose house
would be burned: the women of this movement were perfectly
two elderly women watching from the second story of the back
aisles and, somewhere behind me, a man began screaming at a woman,
then we started in again, half stunned by the dimensions of our
peculiar hormonal momentum of business travel, and I had
some crop dusters up in the air at daybreak and
the historical irrelevancy of growing up convinced
Hitler put a bed in the kitchen to be closer.
