JFK
Today in school we took a 30 second moment of silence for President Kennedy. Because the school is named after him. The Principal looked at his watch to make sure that 30 seconds had passed.
When I was in 7th grade, I read a book about the assassination of jfk. I felt like I was reading pornography. They showed stills from the famous reel. Blood on the Chanel suit. Brains on the Chanel suit. Jackie crawling on all fours. Brains on the leather seat.
Brains.
I drive around my parent's back roads through connecticut and our house... and I try to pretend I am a foreigner. It's my first time there. I know these parts so intimately.
