À Irina, ma chère amie….

Quelque part sur la Route 66, à l’Ouest de Seligman (Arizona), juin 2012

Je circule sur les vestiges de la Mom Highway
Sous un ciel teinté de terre
Cherchant les traces de cet immense symbole de la culture américaine.
Aucune présence humaine autour de moi
Seulement le cri du vent
Et le frémissement des buissons secs et déracinés qui traversent la route devant moi.

Les marques laissées par les humains ne sont pas toujours visibles…

Nous sommes en 1935. Dans ma tête, j’entends le grondement des vieilles voitures des cultivateurs venant de l’Oklahoma et de l’Arkansas. Ils fuient par milliers loin de la souffrance de la Grande Dépression et de la vague de sécheresse (Dust Bowl), migrant vers la Californie en quête d’un emploi. La route 66, a écrit John Steinbeck, « est la voie des réfugiés, de ceux qui échappent aux terres stériles, au tumulte des tracteurs, aux propriétés écrasées, à l’invasion silencieuse du désert, aux tornades hurlantes à travers le Texas, aux inondations qui n’apportent rien de fertile à la terre et détruisent les rares richesses qui y résident. »

Ensuite, en 1942….J’entends le fracas des camions transportant des fournitures vers la Californie pour l’effort de guerre. Des milliers de familles de travailleurs avancent à leur suite.

As-tu entendu les cris des enfants! Ils se rient sur la banquette arrière d’une superbe Oldsmobile bleue de 1953 en direction de vacances en Californie ou au Grand Canyon.

Puis, en 1961….Après plusieurs autres artistes, Chuck Berry chante « Get your kicks on Route 66 ». Je peine à l’entendre à cause d’un groupe de motards en virée qui passe devant moi.

Puis, le 27 juin 1985….la route est déclassifiée, remplacée par un réseau de routes plus actuelles. Le silence est assourdissant….Et balaye des milliers de petits commerces familiaux, « Mothers-and-Pops », qui ont donné un visage humain à cette route depuis six décennies. La modernité ne cesse de se redéfinir…Et de faire naître des mythes et des symboles précieux au cœur des gens.

Les marques laissées par les humains ne sont pas toujours visibles.

To Irina, my cherished friend
Somewhere on Route 66, west of Seligman (Arizona), June 2012

I drive on the remnants of Mom Highway
Beneath a sky the shade of earth
Looking for the remnants of this wonderful emblem of American Culture.
No one and nothing around me
Only the wind howling
and the rustling of dry uprooted bushes crossing the highway ahead of me.
The marks left by people are not always visible.. .

We’re in 1935. In my mind, I hear the roar of the vintage vehicles of farmers from Oklahoma and Arkansas. They flee by the hundreds, far away from the anguish of the Great Depression and the wave of drought (Dust Bowl), migrating to California seeking work. Route 66, wrote John Steinbeck, “is the path of a people on the run, refugees from dirt and vanishing land, from the rumble of tractors and encroachment, from twisting winds howling out of Texas, from floods that bring no fertility to the earth and take away the little wealth that exists.”

Then in 1942 …. I hear the cacophony of the trucks delivering supplies to California for the war effort. Hundreds of working families follow in their trail.

Did you catch the kids’ laughter? They giggle in the back seat of the lovely blue 1953 Oldsmobile setting off for a trip to California or the Grand Canyon.

Then in 1961…. after many other performers, Chuck Berry sings “Get your kicks on Route 66”. I can barely hear him as a group of bikers on a road trip zooms past me.

Then on June twenty-seventh, 1985 …. the road is decommissioned, substituted by a network of more modern roads. The silence is striking…. and sweeps away the thousands of small family-run businesses, “mother and pops”, that lent a warm human touch to this road for six decades. Modernity never stops recreating itself…. and giving rise to new myths and symbols dear to the heart of the people.

The marks left by people are not always visible.
