Let’s all get on the G train and take a ride into speculative land. Descartes had it right. Cogito ergo Sybil. When you lie awake dreaming at night, do you know that Sybil lies awake and dreams about you? Here’s what else Sybil dreams: She dreams of a world where humans are an endangered species. A universe where creatures are born, live, and die without ever touching the ground. She dreams of a town where once a year all men go mad, and of a community where basketball becomes the artbiter of life or death. Where children are trees that live in the desert and where ghosts drink your whiskey when your husband’s away. And when she awakes, Sybil wonders if you still exist, or if you were just a figment of her imagination.
