You /  me, /  reach frantically for Frank, / who stands dead center. / Haloed by a visor, / his face shines; / his eyes stare / 
defiantly ahead.

What of our ways, / the wampum bead touching / all other beads, all stories / linked, woven, not a timeline / 
but a möbius strip. A round Earth, / carried on the back of a giant / turtle.

We love best the dogs who walk / upright, those sleepless explorers / who purchase daguerreotype hair jewelry / on eBay every night with no lights on,
