Joni gets it:

"In a highway service station

Over the month of June

Was a photograph of the earth

Taken coming back from the moon

And you couldn't see a city

On that marbled bowling ball

Or a forest or a highway

Or me here, least of all

You couldn't see these cold water restrooms

Or this baggage overload

Westbound and rolling, taking refuge in the roads

"I pulled into the Cactus Tree Motel

To shower off the dust

And I slept on strange pillows of my wanderlust

I dreamed of 747s

Over geometric farms

Dreams Amelia, dreams and false alarms
