What he left behind: "the Frightful Hog," Day almost missing him

texture · 14 Nov YDAU, after his departure

• When: 14 Nov YDAU (three days after the melee), the 3-Man room
• What: In Lenz's absence, Geoffrey Day catalogues the residue: Lenz's Recovery-Journal quotations, his upside-down handstands in his briefs, and his name for his own genitals — "the Frightful Hog," a "primo example of what he called the Polish Curse" ("undistinguished length but sobering circumference"). Day "would die before admitting he missed either Lenz or his soliloquies about the Hog." A confirmation that Lenz is gone from the House and a last note of his grandiose self-branding.
