She was a great-hipped, heavy-legged woman with breasts that haunt the dreams of hungry men.
She was repulsed by Michelangelo’s Creation on the ceiling of the bathroom.
“The body is the work of the Devil,” she said.
But Fat Man’s father only laughed at her and lay superimposing her head onto the shoulders of Adam, pretending that naked Adam was his wife.
And he had sired his son with his wife fully clothed and shoed in a dark room in the middle of the night with her jaws clenched and her teeth grinding and her Bible clutched to her bosom with both hands.
