The dead-infant speaker at White Flag (p. 377)
passersby on the South Boston streets began to reel away white-faced as the girl passed by, stretch-marked and brown-toothed and lashless (lashes lost in a Substance-accident; fire hazard and dental dysplasia go with the freebase terrain)
Context
The Substance deforms the mother too: her body carries the same authorship-by-addiction as her son's, itemized with the parenthetical's terrible matter-of-factness ("go with the freebase terrain"). By the end Gately sees the inversion complete: "she looks like she’s the one that’s the infant."
