"My mind is like the valley-This vast barren waste. Car lots. Malls. Tract homes. I know there are other worlds beyond it-of canyons full of coyote and monarch butterflies, squirrels, bunnies, puppies, purple and yellow wildflowers, of magical boulevards lined with palatial movie theaters and palms and palisades, especially, especially of the coean, where it all ends and everything begins. I know the rest is out there but from where I sit in my head it's like being on the bottom of a hot sunken pit-you can't see anything else around you no matter how hard you try."
