"Today I walked into the sunset โ€” to mail some letters โ€”.. .But some way or other I didn't seem to like the redness much so after I mailed the letters I walked home โ€” and kept walking - The Eastern sky was all grey blue โ€” bunches of clouds โ€” different kinds of clouds โ€” sticking around everywhere and the whole thing โ€” lit up โ€” first in one place โ€” then in another with flashes of lightning โ€” sometimes just sheet lightning โ€” and some times sheet lightning with a sharp bright zigzag flashing across it -. I walked out past the last house โ€” past the last locust tree โ€” and sat on the fence for a long time โ€” looking โ€” just looking at โ€” the lightning โ€” you see there was nothing but sky and flat prairie land โ€” land that seems more like the ocean than anything else I know โ€” There was a wonderful moon. Well I just sat there and had a great time by myself โ€” Not even many night noises โ€” just the wind โ€”.. .I wondered what you were doing - It is absurd the way I love this country โ€” Then when I came back โ€” it was funny โ€” roads just shoot across blocks anywhere โ€” all the houses looked alike โ€” and I almost got lost โ€” I had to laugh at myself โ€” I couldn't tell which house was home - I am loving the plains more than ever it seems โ€” and the SKY โ€” Anita you have never seen SKY โ€” it is wonderful โ€”"
