BE Spoiler (if that's possible now)

[Fiona Shnapple]

The phrase is an ugly one, unfit, an inappropriate distortion, a dangerous
and disgusting hyperbole, immediately abused, now made a profane production
of memory for sale, squabbled for, wrangled for, pinned to the lapels of
patriots and paranoid victims of patriots. I piss on it. Let it be passed
over, the preterit is a pear tree epiphany that spreads its roots and
branches deep and wide above and below our city, even there, waiting for a
coffee and a roll, especially there, at the push carts, and where our
brother New Yorkers wait for due processes and are tortured in cells.
