Morning breaks wide open and spills into the
desert, into everything I can see through the windshield.
Something about the size of the desert. It's huge and it's empty.
It's violent and it's calm. It's dead but it breathes a silent
knowledge. Age-old, but secret. Something real, but that I just
can't understand. There are holes in the desert.
There's also something wrong with history. It doesn't flow well
here. Sometimes fast. Mostly dry and slow. Every minute is not
the same and doesn't last as long as the one before.offee spills from my cup onto US80 and floods the Daniel Boone
