I am my father's fuck ups 

in a fitted skin

added new scars 

for every place I've been 

( got taken in )

A personal history 

in cycles of topography

elevation

reorientation

declination 

coordinates for ever contour 

( see here: a metaphor )

I bench marked this map 

with borders and cracks

in red thread and push pins

wrote my own legend

Someday

this will be the suit they bury me in
