    Run.
    People are coming. They must not catch us here
    Definitionless in this strict atmosphere.

    Fat girl, terrestrial, my summer, my night,
    How is it I find you in difference, see you there
    In a moving contour, a change not quite completed?
    You are familiar yet an aberration.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
