"Talking to God's like jerking off. You strain in the dark for years, but then a fuse gets lit, and people come screaming out of the fire. They land in the streets, their arms and legs blown off. A man on a horse tips his hat. Marilyn holds down her dress. In the charred air, angels hang."

--Rauan Klassnik, Holy Land (2008)


Don't forget the Transplant Olympics.
