What’re you doing? Do you know where you are going? Driving like a mad man. Slow down, she said. Pull over. We should be heading east. You’re chasing the sun. The moon is behind us. Pull over, the young woman got out a map.

I know where I’m going, he told her. What time is it?

It’s 8:30.

Are you sure we’re going west?

The sun sets in the West. It goes down in California. Didn’t you learn that in school? Turn around.

I’m lost, he said. I’ve been lost. Never know where I’m going. Never know if I’m coming or going. Never sure. I get confused.

How did you start going west?

You were asleep. I took a wrong turn. Took a wrong turn a long time ago, he laughed.

You can say that again, she looked at the map. Ohio. It’s right there, she pointed. Lima, Ohio. We’re in Iowa heading west.

Yes. I gotta turn around. Start over.

Right. Yes, you do.

Sorry. I’ll get back on the straight and narrow.
