The Night Watchman: Clark Kent Summary & Analysis

Patrice goes to an eye clinic and is told she needs glasses. After she gets glasses, the clarity of the world is breathtaking. Wood Mountain tells her she looks like Superman’s girlfriend, and Patrice says no, she looks like Clark Kent. The two kiss as they leave the clinic. They find a place in the woods, and Wood Mountain takes a packet from his jacket pocket. He puts it on, and then he is “inside of her, too eagerly.” Tears blur her vision. They start again, and it gets better. After, their breathing slows until they’re breathing in perfect time.
