“Like some Midwestern drugstore Hindu god, I had a hand to apply lip gloss, one to change 45 records on the portable player, one to French braid my best friend Annette’s hair, one to open another gift from the stack, another for candy corn (my birthday’s smack up on Halloween)–I could even roll a joint with one hand, something I learned from the older son of our brownie troop leader, who was also the first person to stick his tongue in my mouth, which I could disingenuously claim was gross, when really it blasted my soul up to the moon as if it was an inhuman cannonball.”
