I was riding a bike. Or gliding. Or doing that walking without walking thing, like characters in a Spike Lee film.Whatever it was, I was doing it on the old street back home, where I grew up. In that place where dreams are made, it all looked like it did the last time I drove the drive and walked the walk so many years ago. The only difference was that it was all … older.

I saw dog houses, barrels, and all sorts of other discarded things; my dream-face smiled at memories I didn\’t have.Yet and still I felt comforted by them, despite the growing chill of the dream-evening I was in. The sun was setting and I had to go. I didn\’t want to leave because the memories had more to say. Before I could protest, I woke up with a desire to visit, to drive down the old street, stop at Mrs. Sales\’ house, and remember …
