will do
no matter
how loosely
it fits
the terrain

any war
any path
will switch back
into any
future
any future will be
a destination

any map combined
with any time
and any theory
good or bad
will last
enough
to place
you there
me here
they
will find their place
too

only intent makes
us right
and you
over there
we say

and so
do you.
