My hit list is riddled with names
that are homogenous. Joe Joe Joseph,
Mary Mary Marianne, William William
Bill Bill Bill, but never another
Dave. This Dave was a special
assignment involving something
that I can’t disclose here, but
I want to remember Dave as
a person I took immense pleasure
in snuffing out. A Dave whose
existence can never be
anything other than Dave. And so,
I have a six-sided Chinese star
of David, and it’s David David David
from now on.
