Stunning poem, you command language with the manic alacrity of Atwood at her best, I love the metaphor of human form being a map, the psyche itself is the frailest of maps, with age it withers like yellow pages obscuring the boundaries and the names of places, until the spaces become confusing without references, much like growing up.
