THE RACKET
--previously published in The Hat--
1 It’s as if the real thing – your own absence – can never be uncovered. 2 Each actor’s face seems to have survived the same brave battle to remain in character. They’re posed on the rubble used to indicate the past. It turns out this is heaven. 3 In the present cancer sets up a free market in your gut. The fog lifts and the birds start in. Each works to replace itself with a bit of racket. |  |
