![]() ![]() Now six years later Darra still wonders if that plan would have worked. She make her hide if she saw any cars and they'd lie down in the ditch beside the road. Darra was aware that there'd be people driving by and everyone would be on the lookout for. ![]() ![]() Then she was gonna get her to the crossroads and make her promise not to watch which way she had went. Darra was planning to maybe threaten her so that she wouldn't take it off. The hard part for Darra was making sure that Wren didn't take the blindfold off until she was out of sight. She'd lead her out of the garage once she had put it on. Do exactly what I say, is what Darra was planning to whisper through the door. As Darra went inside her next job was to make sure she'd wear it. She went out to the garage to set it down. She wrote a note saying "put this on."

As I read through these Stations I found myself wondering if this is the sort of comfort that comes with age, with living out the exciting days of youth, eventually settling into the routine of someone who’s seen much of the world. Smith’s world, or at least the way she tells of it, oscillating between cafes and cowboy dreams and far-off destinations, seems comfortable. ![]() Her cicerone, the cowboy (who I can’t help but picture as Sam Elliot playing The Stranger in The Big Lebowski), guides her through her nightly alternate realities, offering words of mystic wisdom along the way. I wake with a blank slate while M Train‘s author, Patti Smith, meets recurring characters. I’ve often wondered what makes one person so susceptible to vivid dreams over another.

Alicia and her son, Christopher, move on, leaving her daughter, Corinne, behind. Lust and incest prevail-as it must with this bunch-and Alicia soon has a daughter in secret, fathered by her step-son, Malcolm.
