Brisk travel to approximate a scurrilous text
Locations designated by letters sorted and discarded
Here and there summer passing at the same latitude
Chronology as a catalogue of time as events
Spaces to accommodate a body but walled over
Any interpretation decorative thus speculative
To attach description like counting them
Time expressed visually as numerous available routes
As a map the letter was useless
