Fa$t-food Funeral Proce$$ion
My latest post for IMAGE Journal’s “Good Letters” blog, “Fast-Food Funeral Procession,” is an expansion of a piece I wrote for my as-yet-unpublished Stained-Glass Kaleidoscope manuscript. Blog editor Cathy Warner slashed through the word jungle of my original piece with her editor’s machete, and I reworked it accordingly, and enjoyed doing so.
Artwork below by Danny Joe Gibson, created specifically for this essay for the original manuscript in 2011.

A Sample:
“The line lurched forward one vehicle at a time, halogen halos radiating from headlights. Although it was eleven o’clock at night, I could not help but think of the funeral processions I saw as a boy, cars coursing through town in the daytime with lights aglow.
As I sat in the drive-thru lane at Taco Bell that night in 2008, I began to think of that line of cars as a fast-food funeral procession. But who—or what—were all of us in that line mourning?”
