|
And I look at the campsite |
|
And see the small tepee |
|
And various forms and variations
of the teepee |
| |
|
Now the teepee is completely on
fire |
|
Now the teepee is large and
someone steps out of it |
|
And an Original American steps
out of it |
|
And
Sage
greets him |
|
And then another and another |
|
A whole parade of Original
Americans steps out of the teepee |
|
One by one |
|
And Sage greets each one of them
with a handshake |
|
|
|
And now the teepee is small again |
|
And
Michael
is looking at it intensely |
|
And Michael miniaturizes himself
and enters the teepee |
|
And we look |
|
And we see him walking about in
that world |
|
He is walking as one of them |
|
They do not recognize that he is
not one of their own |
|
He walks and he talks to them |
|
And they listen to him for he is
a good storyteller |
|
And now Michael is back at the
campsite |
|
And more Original Americans start
filing out of the teepee |
|
And Sage greets each one of them
with a handshake |
|
And welcomes them home |
|
|
|
And now the teepee is small again |
|
And
Ruth is
crying |
|
She is sobbing with her face in
her hands |
|
And Sage grimly stands up and
steps forward and enters into the teepee |
|
And we watch as he too walks and
talks among the people |
|
But nothing happens |
|
His words fall on deaf ears |
