ANIMATED MINI-THROB
Just line up at the cooler, all you
interested people, intent on hearing
this heartthrob Johnny go again. He's
really a loser, you know. Sixteen
months on Riker's Island, and two
more spent burying the unknown
dead on Hart's. Even if it's temporary
interment, you're still dead.
-
My friends used to drive Cabriolets.
I said, 'You mean Chevrolets?' They
said no, they meant cabriolets. So
I had to look it up to learn what
to say. Kind of all it means is what
we normally call a convertible.
-
Split that difference then, like an
atom. But be careful too for what
blows up. I don't know any real
distinctions other than that. Sedan
versus coupe? No. Fastback against
whatever the other is called? No again.
-
They play cards, you know, on
Hart Island, over every new pine box.
Not regular cards, mind you, but
Tarot. Turnover counts as fortune,
yet the only thing that ever turns
up is the black-eyed card for Death.
