Birth of a Nation

Only four of the six pictures uploaded.

it rained hard like it does in the movies
and a boy yelled outside my window about a blue piece of paper
I fell back asleep
someone came into my room and said good-morning
I thought it might be my wife, but I do not have a wife
I turned and dreamt a bit more this time about an ancient city
that had saved itself from extinction
by adopting a set of turtles as its energy policy

I thought it was clever
the parade of giant floating sea turtles passed through the city

a closet with some ties
