PARADISO #1:

Avoid street dealers, white heroin sold as cocaine,
three tourists died last November, says the message
on the electronic billboard alongside the road over
the canal as we drive into town. Black car, white car,
silver grey, bicycles ride in packs of giant rolling
metal, the flowers of Spring, Loveland, high-rise homes
with windows big enough to let in light, inspire a nation
to look up to the sky.
