When I try to picture Kansas, I realize I don’t
know what it looks like--on a map or around
a man. When you describe downtown, I see
an expanse. When you describe the farmhouse,
I see the same, only on a hill. And then I think
of the flat, flat of Ohio highway. The way it is
to move along one on the way to another.
