Reviewed, it
seemed.
As if someone were watching over it.
Before it was.
As if
response were based on fact.
Providing, deciding, it was soon
there.
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there.
Renewed, it
fought.
As if it had a cause to live for.
Denied, it learned.
As
if it had sooner been destroyed.
Providing, deciding, it was soon
there.
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there.
Reviewed,
it fought.
As if someone were watching over it.
Before it had sooner
been denied
Renewed, it seemed.
As if it had a cause to live
for.
Destroyed, it was later based on
fact.

WIRE MAP REF 41N 93W
LYRICS
An unseen ruler defines with geometry.
An unrulable
expanse of geography.
An aerial photographer over-exposed.
To the
cartologist's 2D images knows.
The areas where the water flowed.
So
petrified, the landscape grows.
Straining eyes try to
understand.
The works, incessantly in hand.
The carving and the
paring of the land.
The quarter square, the graph divides.
Beneath
the rule a country hides.
Chorus.
Interrupting my train of
thought.
Lines of longitude and latitude.
Define and refine my
altitude.
The curtain's undrawn.
Harness fitted, no
escape.
Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland.
Landscape, canal,
canard, water coloured.
Crystal palaces for floral kings.
A
widespread waving span of wings.
Witness the sinking of the sun.
A
deep breath of submission has begun.
Interrupting my train of
thought.
Lines of longitude and latitude.
Define and refine my
altitude.
