Each nugget has its special topography;
we map it with our phrenologist's fingers,
the lump rotating in our palms. Ah -
a slant towards criminality.
This fellow has the bulbous tumours
of madness in childhood.
Sometimes, the contours converge
on a hollow, like a bunker
or a dead lake. I let the pad of my ring finger
rest there, then I cast the rock aside,
and take the next from the heap.
