And here was another of those mysteries, a prime example, this beast plodding ever closer to my father through the blizzard. Oh, how cute, thought my father, my very own Christ, laden down beneath his cross, disgorged by the city, another chance for me to redeem myself. Hooray. Perhaps I could throw down my coat to line the poor soul’s way. And what monstrosity could this city offer up by way of a savior? A Frankenstein cobbled together from a murder victim’s severed limbs, a brain from an East Village shooting gallery OD, a waterlogged heart from a concrete-shoed Sicilian?

Whatever messenger the city had sent, it was now approaching 78th Street, only a half block away, coming fully into focus in the orange snow-strewn light, not a monster at all, a natural being, a creation like all nature’s creatures, a being brought to life by the conjunction of sperm and egg, an existence. Another Christ figure just like all the rest.
