Where there were seasons and sky. Where there were monuments.
Like a single engine plane in a July haze.

I love American newspapers, the way each section
is folded independently and believes it owns
the world.

from First Thing / by Tyler Mills

You can dip a line of monofilament into a river.
You can do it twice.
