Zero sum | Claudine Jones







			Saw Anna Deavere Smith's show: those choreographed interviews absorbed as song strongly figured grace I do not have grace: finding that a friend got cast in something presumably granted that rarefied mood afforded by the comfort of being chosen—I hate. The bad reviews come out—I rejoice I do not have grace: my mother has another of her spasms playing out a new friendship in front of me or most likely on the phone—I curse. That friend is lost to her a result of her interminable fixations on John Muir, Abe Lincoln, Brooke Shields, Netflix and the Lord's Prayer—I rejoice.
