El Camino: Borderland States

Crossroads

January 1997, Mt. Sinai, 4:30 AM}   

We climb Mt Sinai with flashlights in our hands.  We cling to the rocks.   Camel Jockeys shout in the dim light, “You want Camel?  Twenty-five dollars!” 

I reply, “We’re American’s I need no camel to get up this darn mountain.” 

Our flashlights go out.  

We quickly stumble on.
