Dialogue Out Loud presents Sodom and Gomorrah

A man stands naked on the rubber of a checkout counter’s clnveyer belt, face smeared with something red. I’m checking the expiration date on the back of a suspicious-looking soup can; down the aisle, a woman haggles with the butcher over a pound of lamb.

“Adam didn’t see the difference between their loins until he tasted the sour of Eden’s trees,” the man says.

Oh, I whisper to the soup can. We have ourselves a prophet. The fluorescent lights of the supermarket exaggerate the deep creases of his jowls.

So begins Wes Long’s “Sodom and Gomorrah” now in beautiful audio form as our Dialogue Out Loud #50. Listen in.
