A Place in the Ur

 

I decided to send all my dreams back to the department store. The clerk looked like Dan Blocker, the big guy from Bonanza. He was big, but sounded a lot like Walter Brennan. To confirm it, Dan said: “Was you ever stung by a dead bee?” The Macy’s of the unconscious looked like Madame Tussaud’s meets the aircraft carrier Lexington. Then I realized it was Detroit. A saint made of wood was smiling beside a painting of a wheat field.
