is mexico even a place you can be? what if argentina is just an ocean wave? papua new guinea just a coffee bean? what if there was no napoleon? his crusades just a comic book series? these are not questions but exclamation points. You’re the chief of police’s son. Pow! You’re a doctor’s wife. Pow! It’s magic really. Pow! You just won the lottery. Pow! Pow! You’re the luckiest virgin alive. Pow! You never knew your friends had never eaten a chicken back. Pow! You learned to beg change in junior high cafeterias! You were prom queen! You were suspended for cross dressing! Pow! You stood on the lunch table and shouted your allegiance to communism! You drive a BMW! You never made love to your wife! POW! POW! POW! IT’S MAGIC REALLY! LOOK AROUND! Life is happening spontaneously really. It’s really magic really. And you never lived to be 30. Pow! And you never lived. It’s magic. Really.
