Re: [-empyre-] locative city, annotated spacea

When I went to college in San Francisco but lived in Los Angeles on breaks
I would always experience on flights a feeling I called "enlightened
amnesia". It was the feeling of one city receded into abstractions and
blurrings of specifics and detail and memory and then, once the waving
hands and window glass portals had fallen away and the plane was up off
the runway, the current city doing the same.  For 50 minutes or so it was
like occupying this odd non space between two dreams, of only knowing seat
covering, plastic soda cups, the rattle of peanut bags, the geometry of a
tray table and nothing else.  I was weight against fabric, increments of
breath, a length of leg and all was transitory, yet it all was just this
string of moments disconnected from geography or even memory except in the
abstract.
