a county orange jumpsuit for joan of arcthe only desk in the building is a folding table the kind my mother spent her afternoons playing penny-a-point bridge on and bows beneath a new computer. beyond it, through high, square windows, a view of the county jail where patty hearst waited months for her trial to reach its bunny-caught-in-the-bank-camera conclusion. in the ground floor mexican restaurant, a shrine to the virgin mary with its stubby white candles and sweet smoke beneath my feet. the computer screen is empty, ready to accept my fingerprints and sweat, and over the polishing of my weapons i hear the taco cook praying. |
