Ozymandias readjusts the microphone, looks out at the crowd, and bellows "NEXT!", before walking regally offstage and attacking his coffee cup like castaway on a coconut.

I do remember seeing water gleaming as molten gold in the late morning, two hours after sunrise. . .inlets and bays burning my retinas, fingers of fire lying between dead grey stones worn and creased--if the hand of god ever pressed into clay, it was there. . .

Flying down the highway at 88 mph, then taking an off-ramp that's almost a perfect 80 degree angle, in the rain, doing two full 360 degree spins, and finally coming to a stop still with the closest end of the car to the guardrail being over five feet from it- and doing it all in a road space that is not only quite curved, but not quite wide enough for two compact cars to sit in side by side. Miraculously, we neither hit *anything* nor had any other cars on the ramp at *all* during our spinout or recovery, nor hurt ourselves at all.
