“Tell me what you miss most about not seeing and I’ll give you ten dollars.”
“Fried chicken…You know smoking? A cigarette is three things—smell, taste, and sight. You gotta see that grey going out your mouth and up in the air to really enjoy a cig…Same thing’s true with fried chicken. Taste it, smell it, do all that, but seeing it’s most important. The way that gold skin cracks when you pull it apart, the smoke coming up from the pink meat underneath if it’s just fresh, then the shiny oil on your fingertips when you’re finished…You gotta see it to really eat it.”
- “A Wheel in the Desert,” from The Woman Who Married A Cloud, Jonathan Carroll
