This is on my side of the--
my side of the valley.
It's called "More Than Fifty."
I'm living, you know it's like living with the animals.
There's no-- the house isn't--
it's a crude prison house, it's a little tiny thing.
And you're right down with the dirt,
I mean, you're no streets, or there's no electricity,
there's no plumbing, there's no real toilet, not even
a good outhouse, no outhouse.
It's very simple--
[LAUGHTER]
--wonderful.
I'm out of money, So I'm sitting in the shade of my farmhouse
cleaning the lentils I found in the back of a cupboard.
Listening to the cicada in the fig tree mix
with the cooing of doves on the roof.
Look up when I hear a goat hurt far down the valley
and discover the sea exactly the blue I used to paint it
with my watercolors as a child.
So what, I think happily.
So what!
