From Firebird: A Memoir, by Mark Doty
I AM
"I am amphetamine bright and glittering on the inside, too, possessed by my song. I am a Judy, right down to the prescriptions, in tight black stockings, the tuxedo jacket slicing across her thighs just below the waist, eyes huge with the force pouring out of her gaze now into the music."
From Chapter 6, Seventy-Six Trombones
