Where are you? Where is this? What is that roadway river way down there… with one bridge to cross?

Is this completely made up? Is this GPS or dreamland or what: where is it?

Oh yes, dreamland, made-up, created, but I’ve been on that front hill before…all that grass, the foxtails, the rocks, the rocks come from home and that’s Poggibonsi out there along the Willamette, the Dordogne, the Tule, the river that circles the world.

Are you in an airplane?

No. I am flying. The air is thick as water. I can breathe. There is no gravity. Something about gravity.
