lat/long: the world
in map form
a territory
up close
can you get a little more specific?
thought not
hoped so
this sphere's center of gravity
nowhere near mine
out on the wing
the birds can't express their disapproval
of a presence that's not in tact
tacit, explicit: the distance doesn't have units
immeasurable
is it home?
alien?
comfortable?
nouns and adjectives won't stick
because it remembers to rain
the chalk on the sidewalk is gone
next week
from a memory that couldn't find its needle
on an empty plate
there's no service here
because there's no because
and the logic of this place
can't rationalize the location
wherever I am
