"We crossed the Arizona state line at sunup. The clouds were pink and fat and hilarious looking, like the hippo ballerinas in a Disney movie. The road took us through a place called Texas Canyon that looked nothing like texas, heaven be praised for that, but looked like nothing else i have seen either. It was a kind of forest except that in place of trees there were all these puffy-looking rocks shaped like roundish animals and roundish people."

"It didn’t seem to matter to Turtle, she was happy where she was... She watched the dark highway and entertained me with her vegetable-soup song, except that now there were people mixed in with the beans and potatoes: Dwayne Ray, Mattie, Esperanza, Lou Ann and all the rest. And me. I was the main ingredient."
