There is a
large fictional river outside a small desert town out west. I was the uninvited companion of a former
wife as she crossed the bridge on her personal journey. Once across I decided to go back and retrieve
something that was lost. I planned to
catch up with her later but I was waylaid by events.
I remember
having a confrontation among some large lily pads with one of my children. Finally, he left to join his mother. I found a lost watch. On its face was a splendid animation of
molecules welling up from a nuclear furnace.
Later I found myself within the labyrinth of a great university
library. The book I opened had no
words. With difficulty I found my way to
the exit.
Now I am at
a dance among sophomores. How ridiculous
I am to think of winning the heart of one of these young ladies. I hurry out the door where bikes stand
waiting among the racks and I awake in the evening light.
