Aurora---streams of light like a spaceway

Aloft Hotel Denver Airport. 2nd hotel of the year.

Fourth Floor room with a king bed. Two big windows on the far wall look out over I-70 at night.

Pairs of lights, a yellow and red one a car length apart, make a fast stream in unidirectional motion. across both the windows, the cars on the elevated highway just below the elevation of the room.

In the dark, just above the car stream, a bigger static ribbon of lights along the horizon---the city, like the thin flat disk of the Milky Way seen from edge.

Between the windows, on the big flat screen television, the American spectacle of football championship at the stadium of flowers in southern California.

Cold night outside. Heater gushes warm air. Later I'll go down to the bar in the lobby and get some chow.
