This small remembered fragment turns Boy's Town into a landscape of institutional absurdity, with barracks in wheat fields standing in for exile and derangement.

Its brevity matters. Rather than explain Foxie, the page lets one quoted image do the work, and the effect is sharp: the place becomes a rural military enclosure that still feels emotionally unhinged years later.

Very short Foxie-voice fragment: Foxie went to Boy's Town Nebraska and we'd be walking along and he'd say a bunch of barracks out in the wheat fields and just carr'in on like crazy. Quote-sketch for character texture.
