South

Grand Forks, Fargo, any North Dakota town with a Super8

and a Target. To be out of your mind was really to be

out of your body. Feeling it the next day somewhere

south of yourself. In line for the more more more that made us feel

less less less, me, being the fun one, rode the 25 cent mechanical

horse. The mothers held back their children, reined in their purse

straps and I, I bucked like a princess.
