Summary
The middle of nowhere is an exact place.
The horizons are endless and my feet ache
just thinking about it. Let's sit here a while,
it's warm and pleasant between glaciations.
A good spot.We'll see them marching across
the sea—what water bears it may also
carry away. I can wait. See,we're not the first
to decide to build from nothing.
