Lenz stalks the Chinese women
[…] the guy wore a rat-colored suit and was shooting a suction-cup arrow at the side of a For Lease building and then going up and drawing a miniature chalk circle on the brick around the arrow, and then another circle around that circle, and etc., as in a what's the word.
Context
A street loon Lenz passes on Bigelow: fire the arrow first, then draw the bullseye around wherever it lands — circle around circle around the accident, meaning manufactured after the fact. Hard not to read it as a little parable about pattern-hunting (the kind this collection does, fairly warned).
