Living on the Mesa was like being at Sea

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

living on the mesa was like being at sea :

unlimited vision in all directions

a long way away

but being at sea was on a freighter / there was a captain of the ship / a crew / a few other passengers so life at sea was not like life on the mesa

still, life on the mesa was like being at sea

and life on the mesa was a curious kind of "still life"

and somehow we are still alive

inspite of everything

we have survived ourselves
