Indeed
I
have
,
"
says
Salim
.
"
The
Lost
City
of
Towers
.
They
found
it
in
the
desert
five
,
ten
years
ago
,
I
do
not
remember
exactly
.
Were
you
with
the
expedition
that
excavated
it
?
"
"
Something
like
that
.
It
was
a
good
city
,
"
says
the
taxi
driver
.
"
On
most
nights
there
would
be
three
,
maybe
four
thousand
people
camped
there
:
every
traveler
would
rest
at
Ubar
,
and
the
music
would
play
,
and
the
wine
would
flow
like
water
and
the
water
would
flow
as
well
,
which
was
why
the
city
existed
.
"
"
That
is
what
I
have
heard
,
"
says
Salim
.
"
And
it
perished
,
what
,
a
thousand
years
ago
?
Two
thousand
?
"
The
taxi
driver
says
nothing
.
They
are
stopped
at
a
red
traffic
light
.
The
light
turns
green
,
but
the
taxi
driver
does
not
move
,
despite
the
immediate
discordant
blare
of
horns
behind
them
.
Hesitantly
,
Salim
reaches
through
the
hole
in
the
Plexiglas
and
he
touches
the
driver
on
the
shoulder
.
The
man
’
s
head
jerks
up
,
with
a
start
,
and
he
puts
his
foot
down
on
the
gas
,
lurching
them
across
the
intersection
.
"
Fuckshitfuckfuck
,
"
he
says
,
in
English
.
"
You
must
be
very
tired
,
my
friend
,
"
says
Salim
.
"
I
have
been
driving
this
Allah
-
forgotten
taxi
for
thirty
hours
,
"
says
the
driver
.
"
It
is
too
much
.
Before
that
,
I
sleep
for
five
hours
,
and
I
drove
fourteen
hours
before
that
.
We
are
shorthanded
,
before
Christmas
.
"
"
I
hope
you
have
made
a
lot
of
money
,
"
says
Salim
.
The
driver
sighs
.
"
Not
much
.
This
morning
I
drove
a
man
from
Fifty
-
first
Street
to
Newark
airport
.
When
we
got
there
,
he
ran
off
into
the
airport
,
and
I
could
not
find
him
again
.
A
fifty
-
dollar
fare
gone
,
and
I
had
to
pay
the
tolls
on
the
way
back
myself
.
"
Salim
nods
.
"
I
had
to
spend
today
waiting
to
see
a
man
who
will
not
see
me
.
My
brother
-
in
-
law
hates
me
.
I
have
been
in
America
for
a
week
,
and
it
has
done
nothing
but
eat
my
money
.
I
sell
nothing
.
