Eli Bishop 2004

Stuck to a lamp-post at the top of a hill in Dolores Park, San Francisco - too urban a setting maybe, but at least a romantic scene did take place near there, what seems like ages ago:

Here is the ribbon she tied to the grass stem. It's blue, fluttering in the same wind. It's realer than it was when she put it there, it's more than itself. 'What is it?' Max says to his mind. 'Is it that reality isn't real to me the first time around?'

'What it is,' says his mind, 'is that you aren't always real the first time around.'

- from Her Name Was Lola
