PASSAGE
By Rae Armantrout

1


I held the framework
of my life in mind
with some precision.
I knew when I was
where—or where I was
when—but not many
incidents of my past had
actually been preserved.
Instead the frame served
as a cargo cult runway,
forever inviting
the future to appear.
I existed finally
as the idea
of temporal extension.

The creeper

Flowers as punctuation?


Can you elaborate
on the passage?


Double meaning,


superposition:


hair standing on end


makes a creature appear
larger, more ferocious.
