There is

George Bowering
From:   : Unpublished, 1999.

There is a creek.

And there is an underground creek
that can be located in old maps.

And there is a human body
such as that worn by Heroditus

that can measure the creek
by walking beside it.
 

[Roger Farr found these words I wrote on an e-mail message to a group called easter-island@sfu.ca]
