Me and Boss Bragg

On the road at 5:30 am leaving Los Angeles headed east to Mesa, Arizona. The sky over the road ahead (as far as the eye can see) is pink-blue-yellow haze with shavings of smoke gray clouds and orange searing the expanse with no identifiable logic or pattern whatsoever. I'm telling you that every dreamy, unmanaged, wisping, floaty shape against the horizon inspires optimism and is celebratory of freedom. And here comes cars, cars, cars with so many rapidly passing headlights and there go smaller, red-eyed tail lights  guiding us through the immediate landscape in syncopated polyphony with the criss-crossing brights of vehicles who zoom rank and file through the arteries and veins of this concrete maze we call highways and Frank is sleeping. Boss Bragg, not ever given to much talk, takes in the new sun as it  peeks through looming mountains.  We speed past waking neighborhoods that we will never know.  Wynton
