“The militia concentrated the illegals in this manner so that if the Germans caught an illegal and demanded an explanation, the Judenrat could excuse itself: ‘We know all about these scum. We’re only rounding them up so as to turn them over in batches to the Gastapo.’”

I went to a charity event a few weeks back, not just to be charitable but to get close to an author I admire: Jennifer Egan. She, and two other writers, were to entertain us with a reading of their work; Egan read a story published in the New Yorker, the science fiction issue, which I remember clearly because it was in that issue that I read Junot Diaz’s work for the first time.

I saw this gentleman at a diner not long ago, and I regret not asking for an autograph.

I want a voice, loud enough to be heard over there
where you stand now, listening
to me whine, and yap, and want
things that are within reach if you’re willing to give up
the fear that traps you like a box;
a box full of standards made-up by others
not like you nor I
