Lighted Spaces and Landscapes

It was perfect symmetry. I was on the road in southern Illinois and I stopped at a pancake joint for breakfast. I noticed the array of syrups and the brown container name caught my eye. I looked up to give my order to the waitress and her name was “Brandy.” I doesn’t scream Wisconsin any more than that. If you don’t understand, ask your Wisconsin friends. (Carbondale, Illinois, 2018)
