I.
Warren/Niles, Ohio. Meatless breakfast in a chain hotel. Desk clerk says she wins people over using her chipmunk voice. She gives me toothpaste. All around me there is asphalt.
II.
Sodom, Ohio. Passed through quietly without molestation, hindrance, or temptation and managed not to look back. Avoided eye contact with the Chief of Police at a four-way intersection. Sunny and green, landscaped houses, trailer parks, beer-wine-lotto - rolling through in a rented car. Back in Niles now, a hillside cemetery, final resting place of The Queen of Hearts herself.
