Itineraries

 
The trajectory was serrated; neither could
have neatened it. We could have contained
ourselves, run with rectitude. But we were
callow and conceited. To own a catch, and
to be conscious of its value are incomparable
vents. Biggity fated us to be off balance.
 
Even if we were worldly and witting, we must
not disremember. The skeleton key to our orbit
belongs to someone else.
