X marks the parts of the world we conquered, for example weX exacerbated underlying illnesses, with inflated organs, heavy eyes—X excited by glittering cities, lost our watches in the harbor at night, X exasperated, irritated, coming down, sucked the sweet xylem of a mountain flowerX exiled by anxiety, lived lost & took long flights, but still saw aloft in our spyglass sometimesXanadu, broken from its opium dream. We made ourselves free X existed differently. There are many paths up that rough little hill.
