no one wants to hear about it

Before you were born,
there was no town
here.
(town disappears, the mountain green.)
The hills so close they block the light,
large empty endless staircase'd
house halfway
up the face above a valley shaped
like a fish.
We drove through
the water on our way and we're
behind schedule for "the experience"
ending somewhere in
"The West."
A blonde woman narrates from the top
of the stairs she says
"it's ok you're late,
but there's another couple here."
They are from far away,
they have a child,
born after the town somehow now
veiled in
twilight,
or
suggestion
