This is another of your more interesting landscapes. I don't think I like the title for it. (What?) It reminds me of ABBA.

The "Xanadu" in my muddled mind is from S T Coleridge's chemically induced poem Kubla Khan . In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, etc. And Kubla Khan is a slang term for a joint.

It reminds me of ABBA.
The ABBA (how does one do a backward upper-case B?) reference flew straight over my lonesome brain cell like a ram-jetted flying carpet (unless it's the blondness of the scene).

Could be a song by the Canadian rock group Rush also. The swiss singing group cane to mind because one of the wackier residents listens to ABBA, nothing else.

It is. There are a lot of mentally ill people where I work. I sometimes wonder if I am also.
