In my Heaven, Charles Simic delivers a late-night poetry reading at a Denny's in Modesto, California. Followed by sixty minutes of improvised music from Sonic Youth.

I remember McHenry Avenue. Army-Navy Surplus stores. Loneliness and 7-Eleven. Motels and alien palm trees. Highway 99 and phantom sounds of the ocean.
