“The Gray Line tourists come to see the new Pompeii. Our old Madame with the heart of gold will take their money. She has to live somehow. Now that we've lost our toys, we know how much it costs to love. Anything you win you can lose. Our new selves take great pleasure in small triumphs, clean water and a hot bath.” —from Downtown, by Lee Meitzen Grue |
