A Word from the Fat Lady Gabrielle Calvocoressi It isn’t how we look up close so much as in dreams. Our giant is not so tall‚ our lizard boy merely flaunts crusty skin- not his fault they keep him in a crate and bathe him maybe once a week. When folks scream or clutch their hair and poke at us and glare and speak of how we slithered up from Hell‚ it is themselves they see: the preacher with the farmer’s girls (his bulging eyes‚ their chicken legs) or the mother lurching towards the sink‚ a baby quivering
