She came from
southwestern Missouri, the hills outside the scratch-ass Ozark town of
Theodosia, set in the cedars and oak trees somewhere between nowhere and
good-bye.
She grew up knowing
one thing, she was trash.
She'd come 1800 miles,
but Theodosia was still just over the hill.
Veniva dal Missouri, dagli aridi altipiani alla periferia di Theodosia,
piantata tra cedri e querce, sperduta tra il nulla e l’addio.
Era cresciuta sapendo una sola cosa: che era spazzatura.
Aveva fatto 20.000 km, ma Theodosia le restava appiccicata addosso.
