A limb's sententious crack Is its apology for breaking. Far enough is far enough for once. When we mention @3the world@1, We mean our fate before we know it. I broke as you were mentioning the world. This is how the moon feels Whose orbit snaps in apogee. I wish you wouldn't look at me that way. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
