Beachfront flyover, with sign initially, but later without, searching for &#8220;the world&#8217;s fastest man\/car\/woman,&#8221; calling it out.  Flying over the airport, slowly, but later picking up speed, all with the easyness and grace as if I had been able to for a long, long time.  Rounding more outcroppings, flying through private gardens, seeing three\/four politicians standing outside, and giving them my respect, they pose for a photo shoot, and I come across the Lotus group, posed too.

She&#8217;s experienced some deep loss, perhaps a death of some sort.  I know she&#8217;s always wanted to be able to fly like me; I don&#8217;t speak, but tease her and she tries to catch me; I hover just above the water and just out of reach with my legs crossed, Indian-style, nibbling on two halves of a Nature Valley bar, stacked on top of one another.
