Dream: Four Lovers
March 20th, 2007
Two lovers on a hill, standing and kissing.
Two other lovers in a car, upset, backing up their car faster and faster in a straight line, trying to run over the first pair, going up the hill backwards, top speed now, bearing down on the standing pair like a bull.
The car misses. Like a skier on a ramp, it’s launched smoothly into the air by the hill’s slope, its flight perpendicular to the earth. The standing lovers cheer, as you would a feat of archery or a skillful tennis backhand. The car, hanging in the sky for a moment, like an arrow shoots straight back down the same way it came, and explodes.
