borderlands

As seams they may be thick or thin -- borderlands of crosshatching or palimpsesting inhabitable in their own right or thresholds crossed with a step; they may be sealed tightly with crossings only possible through a portal or a rift, or they may be stitched loosely with crossings possible at any point along the long threshold.

Tom Nickles has also been lured into the borderlands of desert varnish, and he is now conducting the experiment he believes will finally determine whether living bacteria or nonliving chemicals are responsible for the coverings.

That's the music with the wild accordion, the metronomic 2/4 bass beat, and a wonderful corniness that only hick cultures i.e., Mexicans, Czechs and Poles can truly love--mostly because the music was introduced to the borderlands between northern Mexico and Texas in the mid-1800s.
