The “HEAD NURSE RATCHETT” nametag had also become another which
now read “PATTI SMITH.” In fact the person wearing it had more or less become Patti Smith; thin and White with long, straight black hair; some of it floating on the water. We were both reclining and vaguely smiling from opposite ends of the boat.
