she used her date of birth as grid references – found that place on a map circled it like with black marker pen circling ***** ******* inky areola - days spent staring at black rings go for the atlas they yelled like an audience on a gameshow - explore the cities that are lost under the staples - explore the curves of geography - dip your toes in the water - bathing sharks show teeth sharp - and when she got home the librarian removed the snippets of conversation from her waistband - she laid them end to end to construct her resignation letter
