One time she told me that when I was a baby, she didn’t have enough milk for me, so I grew up drinking Lactogen every day. She said that now the Lactogen cans remind her of those days. When I heard that, I said, well, then cows in Australia are also my mothers, aren’t they? Because Lactogen comes from Australia, and there’s even a map of Australia on the can. While I was lying in bed, I remembered that. Then I imagined lots of things about Australia. I thought of ranches and cows and Aboriginal peoples and powdered-milk factories and ports and steamships and more, one thing after another.
