What's in God's wallet? A three dollar bill,
a receipt from Bed
Bath
& Beyond (the only
one to ever make a purchase from the Beyond)
and two business cards. One is yellowed
vellum, hand inscribed in tiny Gothic Latin and
signed Anselm. On the back in rough graphite
(a carpenter's pencil? Probably) is a scrawl, nearly
illegible, a telephone number. The area code is 666.
The other card is mother of pearl and stamped in
gold, simply, I AM. It was a gift from a Parisian lady,
given while He sat shiva for Descartes. (He opted to
forgive the debt from a certain wager made in cold
blood. No one knows what happened that hour but
the owner of the cafe and Yvette. She said they were
old acquaintances.)
