Go Home Go up a level

DOWN AMONG THE

ORANGE GROVES

Heaven knows what it was I lost. It was important enough for me to get out of the comfortable chair at home, to leave my books and other things, and come down among the orange groves to look for what I don’t remember losing. I don’t know if you’ve had the experience of looking for something without knowing what it was you were supposed to be looking for, but I have that experience all the time. I haven’t got a clue what’s going on. I’m completely lost, on every level.

Anyway, after the things started happening to me, I noticed this going on a lot more. I won’t bore you with what the things are, suffice it to say I have sufficient information to know that the things are down among the orange groves, and that means I am here, because I cannot ignore the things. So I look and look. The seasons change, and still I do not find the things. While everyone in town is drunk up to their ears in liquor, my life disappears down among the orange groves, where I am just a thing amongst the other things.
