Madroad driving men ahead–the mad road, lonely, leaning around the bend into the openings of space towards the horizon Wasatch snows promised us the vision of the west, spine heights at the world’s end, coast of blue Pacif-ic starry night–nobone half-banana moons sloping in the tangled night sky, the torments of great formations in the mist, the huddled invisible insect in the car racing onward, illuminate–The raw cut, the drag, the butte, the star, the draw, the sunflower in the grass–orangebutted west lands of Arcadia, forlorn sands of the isolate earth, dewy expo-sures to infinity in black space, home of the rattlesnake and the gopher–the level of the world, low and flat: the charg-ing restless mute unvoiced road keening in a seizure of tar-paulin power into the route, fabulous plots of landowners in green unexpecteds, ditches by the side of the road, as I look.
