Abstract

We drove through darkness, sky spread thickwith constellations, stories of immortalsstolen by artificial light. Now this glareinstalled without thought of our need to moveslowly toward illumination—to witness facestired as ours, magazines crumpled by multitudes,furniture scuffed and dull, burdened by so muchwaiting.
