Cannibal Cannibal Dear, I read about the Anasazi being cannibals and saw the catalog of human remains. The skulls that had been roasted face up in the hearth. A turd crapped out in the fire for terror. The eight hundred and fifty year old shit being the only certain proof of cannibalism.
Human remains in human excrement.
The Anasazi culture disappeared suddenly around 1150. Scientists, denying cannibalism, could not understand why. I read this in the New Yorker magazine. Browsing through another literary magazine, Granta, I saw a picture of 7,000 kilograms of women's hair, Auschwitz, next to a stark photograph of two sturdy crematoria in a clean cement room. I saw a classroom floor taken over with skeletons and their clothes in Rwanda.
