You were looking at the clock, were you trying to stop it?
Were you trying to excavate, to discover Antarctica?
What was it like to explore and ex-plore, do your feet hurt?
Can you whistle?
Do you want to go fishing, or to outer space with me?
I'm not superstitious, and neither are you, but you and I can both tell time.
I can read a map.
I know how many fingers and toes it takes me to get from A to B.
I will read every word you ever write in the dark.
I will read you from cover to cover to cover.
       
Manifest Destiny.
   
From sea to shining sea.
