Map Ref 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W |
| 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 |
| Interrupting my train of thought |
| Lines of longitude and latitude |
| Define and refine |
| My altitude |
| 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 well-known 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 |
| Interrupting my train of thought |
| Lines of longitude and latitude |
| Define and refine |
| My altitude |
| Interrupting my train of thought |
| Lines of longitude and latitude |
| Define and refine |
| My altitude |
| Interrupting my train of thought |
| Lines of longitude and latitude |
| Define and refine |
| My altitude |
