Manuscript I
compose the narrative off a sliding
scale, fixed in place like a rail
or beam. Place the ends twenty
inches apart and run the line
through the center. use fish wire
with an even knot (something besides
bunny ears or other low integrity)
so that the load will balance.
make sure that the cylinder holds
taught, the last thing you want
is for an end to snap, but know
that at some point it will. I
understand that the instructions
before this mislead, and I empathize
with your design, but consider
this advice with the next poem
you write.
