Brief Associative Slideshow For The End Of Another Long Day

It's true that I have ridden an elephant, 

but I have never ridden an elephant over 

the mountains or into the darkness.

I am one of those who can look at maps all day long and convince myself that I've actually gone somewhere. For a brief time, anyway.

Now let's talk about shadows and monsters, if you have a spare moment....

I want to be a dog,

when I die--

a dog, a dog.
