The Kansas Rectangle
I’m leaving tomorrow for a holiday in Kansas.
Don’t worry, I have regular Encore Seraphine updates planned.
But if I don’t come back, please send a search party.

images flicker past and disappear, the impressions
remain flat and disconnected in the soul.”

Have fun on your holiday.
I’ve never heard of the Kansas Rectangle, but I’d be sure to bring a GPS if I ever visit Kansas.

If in any danger of disappearing, click your heels together and say, “There’s no place like home.’
Kansas is also famous for tornadoes and finding yourself in OZ.

Beth. I’ll click my keds.
Carolina. Thank you! I’m nervously anxious to go.
Nurse Myra. The blonde’s name is North. J’aime.
Secret Agent. They’ll peg you as an outsider, hide the gps and you’ll be ok.

I figure If you stay close to the borders you will be ok. If not keep you cell phone on and charged for a good GPS signal

but oh the love, from others she would have never thought of and the knowledge, be like
Dorothy and Eve, shake that that apple tree!

I once got stoned on acid, and with 4 or 5 other knuckle-heads, rented a u-haul van and drove to Kansas with machetes, based on the tale that hemp grew wild, right on the roadside, all over the state. It’s true.
Problem is, it’s “rope weed,” leftovers from what they grew during the Civil War, cultivated for fibrousness rather than resin. Tastes good, but you could smoke ’til you got bronchitis and never get a decent buzz.
Times was dry. We hopped out of the van swingin’, made off with about 150 lbs., and made it back to AR, 20 miles from home, before we got busted. I spent a month coolin’ my heels that time.
Yeah, fond memories of Kansas! It is flat, and it does feel like a rectangle. Don’t worry about your gps; all roads lead away from there.

Off I see to the original land of the south wind people, of Arapaho, Comanche, Kiowaa, Osage and Pawnee? Do we own the land or does the land own us? Have a great holiday

I’ve never met anyone who went to Kansas and came back. But then, I’ve never met anyone who went to Kansas at all.
