make an atlas

there's a world
inside your heart
inside your head
that's all yours.
you can have it.
see? you made this
so make an atlas
draw a map
mountains, rivers, deserts, plains
oceans
massive oceans
you compartmentalize
in countries you have discovered
you choose capitals
(you think Vancouver BC 
would be a good choice)

no one can see it but you
so treat it gently
with love
like you would a newborn child
on its first day on earth
