Disturbing images of God, v.1.0
On her T-shirt, above a cartoon of a woman straddling a Harley, a caption reads: "It ain't all about cowboys." She's caressing a long-neck beer, staring out across the lake.Between her thighs, a pudgy, nervous Dachshund scrabbles its front paws against the chair, desperate to climb into her lap.
Toenails clicking a rapid staccato against the metal chair seat, the dog is choking itself against its collar, and in my head I think: If only I were as anxious to get close to God.
As if she could hear the thought, the woman looks at the dog and then at me.
"She'd only be happy if she could get inside me," she says.
Then she sips her beer.
