Soon I Discovered that this Rock Thing Was True

Hey you guys know that song “Jesus Built my Hotrod” by Ministry? Of course you do, you cool kids. And you know the part (possibly in the extended remix – dammit where IS that mixed tape?) where they shout, “Drag racing! Drag racing!”? Well, sometimes when I’m at home, sharing a peaceful moment with Trombone, watching him plant his face in the carpet and then kick his feet madly and then look up, hoping to have moved a few feet closer to the catt, I think, “Childproofing! Childproofing!” and then I laugh a little to myself and then I weep a little, too and have another martini and wrap my silk robe a little tighter in case I should have to answer the door.
