This is the coda of "Saigon: 2B2F", my almost-finished opus ...

The End …

         I sit in the restaurant for a while, finishing my wine.  Then I realize I told The Gravedigger I’d meet him at McManus. 

         Outside there’s a film crew interviewing the owner of the bodega next door to the restaurant.  A fat man with a beard is waving me through. “Just keep walking,” he whispers, sotto voce.  “Don’t look at the camera.  Just keep walking.”

         After I’m out of the line of fire I ask one of the crew what they’re shooting.

         It’s one of those Goldman Sachs ads.

         Cue The fucking Doors.
