When: Sat 14 Nov YDAU (2009), night
What: Asleep with her veil tucked between pillow and jaw, Joelle dreams Don Gately — unhurt, in dental white — kindly ministers to her teeth; in his forehead mirror-disk she sees her own face convexly distorted and cocaine-ravaged, then endless reserve rows of red-tipped canine teeth receding down a black pipe, blotting out his face as he assures her "that these can be saved."
