But the map dashed the road along the stream
And we dotted mans fishiest enthymeme
With jellied feet upon understanding love
Of what eyes see not, that nourishes the will:

I grapple with eels like ropesits ether, its queer
and then, at last, its done. Now the scavengers arrive,
the hard crawlers who come to clean up the ocean floor.”
