Odd I just had a thought. An animated film. A fictitious afternoon in the life of James Baldwin. Perhaps his meeting Walt Whitman outside of the 42nd street Library. The story goes from there. They might meet John Donne in Chinatown.
Our heroes decide to have a light lunch of dumplings, and green tea. It's a crisp mid-fall afternoon in October 1962. The unlikely meeting hardly surprises them. They being mystics all assume such is to be expected from time to time,...so to speak.
"This electricity how you so depend on it" said John investigating his dumplings. "I saw it's beginnings" said Walt.
"I hardly notice it" grumbled James.
He continued.
"I should have got a Coke, and a pack of Chesterfields"
There was a sudden rumble the floor shook.
Seems in this alternate reality Cuba got HOT.
They looked up.
The sky was on fire.
"This is where I came in"
said Dunne not at all surprised.
