there is an abyss of infinite depth that one can stare into. a place quite unfamiliar to our urban children. last night i gazed deep into that gulf as it challenged my respect for its impossible existence. the groom's hand had opened and offered the dried stem of a mushroom. one by one the secret was revealed to the guests... had anyone known the plan would have failed... forethought is a cage of anticipation. i grabbed a friend, a bottle of merlot, and a flashlight. we hit the plum valley trail en route to The Arena. our conversation boiled into a feverish pitch as mars beckoned us forth. no moon. shooting star. and another. sip of wine. mars blazing. milky way. more wine. satelite. singing. hugging. laughing. nursing. wine. its moving. no, you're hallucinating. which star? THAT ONE! laughter. wine. milky way. colored flashing lights in the pines. two more arrive in The Arena. pass the wine. macro. micro. me grow. light show. gravity. grapes. light. laughter. music in the pines. singing. dancing. meteor. mars. milky way. the middle star is moving. its not. satelite. PLANET! flashing. there it is again. more. over there. pulsing. cosmic. pie. howling. draught of wine. now two more arrive. stand. sit. lie down. face up. shooting star. sharing wine. i don't know you. have some meteors. a little mars perhaps? blips. the fox. ancient light. my eyes consume. my lips taste. run through the trails. stop. meteor. mars. milky way. wine. head to camp. frisbee. dancing. tripping. what are you guys doing? playing hide the weenie! where'd that weenie go? WEENIE!!! wine. running to The Arena. more on trail. M is eating beef! she thought she was petting a dog but it bit her. RABIES!!! you've got RABIES!!! maybe a fox. milky way. meteor. mars. laughter. dancing. back to the wine. back to the abyss. back to The Arena.

have you ever seen the fox in the milky way?
