“He pictured both cities simultaneously, as though they hung on the extended arms of the orange clouds. Suspended. Tiny San Francisco dangling to the north: innocent, rich and a little bit silly. The sprawling, demented snake of L.A. to the south. Its fanged mouth wide open, eyes blazing, paralyzed in a lunge of pure paranoia. This was the place to be, he thought. Right here. In the middle. Smack in the belly of California where he could eyeball both from a distance. He could live inside the intestines of this valley while he spied on the brain and the genitals.”
― Sam Shepard, Motel Chronicles

“Rondó por la piscina
Del Holiday Inn
Y de golpe se sintió completamente inútil

A medianoche
En Texas

Pobre Texas
Excavada
Como todas las demás

3/79
San Marcos, Texas”
― Sam Shepard, Crónicas de motel
