120 West Longitude, 37.50 North Latitude Synchronizing longitude and latitude By degrees, from zero in Greenwich In the obliquity of the ecliptic Cartographers depicted imprecisely A geodesy of contours and land masses, New hemispheres at last unveiled Splattered with geographical folklore – Neptune supporting the sphere, Mythical islands circling the North Pole Lakes moving from one place to another. Measuring distances presently, With dead-eyed accuracy Mapping the topography Most expediently All points leading home. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Whew! Talk about playing hard to get! Couldn't you just, like, give him your address? The writing and word selection is excellent, Corinne....... |
