He likes to climb around words,
up and down letters like a child
in a jungle-gym. He is familiar

the wife and kids have gone to bed.
He folds his glasses away and draws
the world in around him like a shawl.
He will sit for hours, legs outstretched,
feet stuck in the fog around him,
and examine very closely the latest
detailed maps of the moon.
Outside, for all he knows, a caravan
of dinosaurs might be rolling on by.
