People like you will believe anything, Call said.

I bet you believe people went to the moon.

But that was a trick to explain

what they did with all that money.

Look at the footage, he said—­the flag is waving . . .

What’s wrong with that picture, Angel?

No air, that’s what. There’s no air on the moon

for a flag to wave in.

He said, I’m glad we had this talk.

Then Asia came over to see Call’s name collection

and show him his.

I did not understand what they ­were talking about,

something trying to get backing

from a member of the taxation committee,

something imposing an entertainment tax

in exchange for movement toward regulation,

something the right to advertise the product

which would normalize the business.

They could give complimentary ser­vices to legislators . . .

They started laughing together

and Call shouted at me,

Supply! you’re in demand.

I said, Melli and me, can we go for milk and bread?

And he said, hey it’s okay between us, right, Angel?

I can trust you, right?

He plumped up Jeremy’s rhino,

said, I know you’re my girl,

buy me some ham while you’re there,

said, why don’t you stop by the library.

Which was weird.
