If we are to explore this cove You speak of,
we are also to prepare ourselves
for the blinding silver sheen
of a sky which has never
known a lack of starlight.

If we are to explore these dunes I speak of,
we are also to prepare ourselves for
a rapidly shifting tide, and
the sand-blasting gastropodal waltz
of the dunes themselves.

Departure:
The only way to dig underground labyrinths
--the only way to properly connect
Atlanta, Tokyo, and Boston--
is with a drill of crayon.
Is this indicated only in our instructions?

Arrival:
Thirty writhing worms, at least,
left on a midtown sidewalk
where they belong.
They will not bare witness
to these revelations
(Regardless of how much coiling
will be and has been done in
the wake of such)

Departure:
I must borrow your car
for 1200 miles of dirt road
As you finally fly, wingless and boiling,
to the land of living green.
Your air will be thick, and--I repeat--
my road will be unpaved.

We are to dissolve into this
Magic that has been spoken of,
and it will only be done flawlessly
because it will be done at all.
