the map and the territory
together we are landscaping
the ways of love and care,
providing maps, road guides,
new editions as and when
a new part of the plane is found.
and from the plane we take flora:
micro-scoping hate
so as to splay it on a slide
and store it for added research,
so as to one day wipe it from the plane

Oh wow he used to be one of my favorite writers. I haven't had a book of his or even thought of him for many many years decades even my favorite of his is the Buddy Bolden book.
