A Sense of Place

Here I am
But what is here
Is it a house
What is this fear

Latitude may literally
Orient the body
But this brain demands
A map to itself
Of itself
And of all the other brains around

Uncertain be all brains
Not to mention bodies
So see me off
This conviction rampage
For no iron is hot enough
To unwrinkle assuage
Rather wrinkle further

Steer skids to whipsaw
For place is more like time 
And senses are more like words
Meaningless without context
Identifiable not at all

Compass rose spins to blur
All I might do is nod
And stir
