The Front builds iron gods. Old men stand naked in the Square, armed with semi-automatics. Lenin in a skirt. Marx, a trash novelist. Castro's Crisis, a one-day sale, Winter Palace execution amusement.
Tanks roll into Newark and Camden after dark.
Guns rest quietly under the crucifix. Empty shells lie scattered across the bedroom floor. A stray bullet finds a boy in the Market. Pope John Paul something is dead. Protests end, the Memorial Day Solution.
