the
second
college
edition
of
webster's
new
world
dictionary
was
published
three
years
after
you
were
born
.
there
are
almost
seventeen
hundred
pages
brimming
with
words
and
illustrations
.
state
flags
and
flowers
.
worms
and
waterbirds
. corals
and
minerals. poisonous plants
and
ruminants.
a
map
of
the
human
body
chases
a
diagram
of
the
solar
system.
the
one
thing
you
won't
find
between
its
stiff
arms
is
your
name
.
you
wipe
the
front
cover
with
cellulose fibers
and
watch
it
turn
a
darker
shade
of
blue
.
it
takes
three
of
the
thickest
books
you
own
to
raise
a
few
frozen
bottles
of
water
up
to
where
they
can
taste
the
breath
of
an
angry
old
fan
. "
you're
supposed
to
cool_down
this
humid
room
,"
you
tell
the
sweating
servants. "
you're
supposed
to
help
me
."
they
don't
do
a
thing
.
this
is
what
happens
when
the
white
box
that
harvests
heat
from
a
room
across
the
hall
and
spits
out
relief
springs
a
leak
,
and
you
wake
to
the
smell
of
something
too
sweet
to
be
any
good
for
you
. tonight's
sleep
will
come
on
like
a
reluctant
lover
,
if
it
comes
at
all
.

...
epitome of incomprehensibility
Yesterday
I
misread
this
as
"
dump
dictionary
"
and
I
pictured
a
host
of
terms
for
ending
a
relationship
,
from
old
-fashioned "jilted" onwards.
So
that
was
a
bit
amusing
,
but
,
today
,
I'm
glad
I
read
this
in
full
.
Your
ability
to
make
a
scene
spring
from
a
single
image
always
impresses
me
.

has
to
be
one
of
the
best
compliments
anyone
has
given
me
in
recent
memory
