The Elephant Keepers' Children
“Wherever I happen to be, for instance, death by starvation is ever lurking.
I don’t know why that should be, whether it has to do with my age or my level of training, or perhaps I simply carry an unknown parasite around with me in my colon. Whatever the reason, I’m forever hungry. That’s the way it’s always been. When I was a little boy, I would often imagine Jesus making me a sandwich, and with his natural talent for catering I could only look forward to the feasts he would almost certainly be... able to conjure up for me.
This is exactly the kind of sandwich Ashanti now puts in front of each of us. She must have been out shopping for the ingredients and spent some considerable time preparing them. A mood of solemnity descends upon the table.
The bread is freshly leavened, and I must offer my apologies because I am compelled, in the midst of this meal, to note that the aroma is the same as I recall from Conny’s scalp. Moreover, the crust is as crisp as glass, the crumb resilient and elastic, and pocketed with air.MoreLess
