we all heard the earth is not flat
argument,
   and it's true...
               that the earth isn't
flat,
           but that hardly matters
when reading a map rather than
succumbing to the ease of g.p.s.,
but as any barren sailor will
tell you:
             orientating your vessel
according to stars,
         just invoke the idea of the heavens
to be flat...
       the flat sky argument to move
from (a) to (b)...
             the earth is flat, on foot,
   but ulysses the sky is flat,
         once a man's foot steps onto a ship
   and rises above poseidon's
                                          trident.
  upon the seas, the sky is flat,
       upon the earth, the earth itself
  is flat...
          with regards to the effectiveness
     of reading a map, and plotting
         a vector...
             no neil armstrong image from
the moon will give me effective planning
to move from point (a) to point (b)...
   the pride of the london black cabbie,
infuriated by the fact that
    the knowledge has been made
                        redundant;
the earth is flat, for the sake of "argument"
or rather...
         for a perfection of navigational
                                    purposes;
                    the sky is flat upon a ship.
