What the Mapmaker Knows　　Mary Jo Bang　　O is the ocean and t the consequence　　of time at the edge　　of a landscape of dots plotted into the plane　　with a constant scale.

　　Any place can be located and later divided　　by cultural and social data and sketched　　on a napkin(餐纸，尿布) —disregarding distance　　and leaving only the little one knows.

　　Description is reductive: a shirt on the back,　　buttons on the front, a mind that is willing　　to enact its own explosive end.

What idiocy(白痴)　　the world is made of:　　fierce justifications, landmines and such,　　a plaid shirt(个子花呢上衣) , a rifle upright.

　　Day and night, an empire　　of uncommon horror: the murderer singing,　　"Every moment all that matters is me.

"　　Tick-tick in the drifting dark.
