“As an undergraduate, I majored in biology, with an emphasis on oceanography. I studied jellyfish, drifters, all things buffeted about in the sea. As a senior, I discovered literature. I was feeling weird. A lot. I went to the doctor. He said I was losing my mind. I forget what he said. Something about meds. Something. I walked out the door. I went to the doctor. He said I was fine. Different versions—same story. I’m always thinking. * * How casually we toss off a life—stepping on ants as we go on, swatting small bugs that happen to alight on the skin of our bare forearm.”

“Next complaint: outlaw sleeping in public places. Poverty per se a criminal act. Putnam wants my property. Revitalize the neighborhood. Gilmore, smiling, wants my place. One of the good guys. Prosecution and court appearance, nonetheless. Dueling ministers, both named Mather. The aforenamed, name of my grade school. Truly. One talks compassion. Noblesse oblige, if I remember my studies accurately. The other —Malleus Maleficarum. The lesser of two evils, or the banality of evil, I can’t remember which. Testimonies as chatter, white noise.”
