To my mind, this is one of the most darkly beautiful passages in a darkly beautiful book:
there’s a man in a pay phone
dramatically lit
he’s saving himself
for his last cigarette
his face changes color
his hand’s dripping wet
as he digs for a quarter
and comes up with ten cent
there’s a man in a pay phone
