turn the map sideways

michigan's mitt

looks more like a mutt,

louisiana resembles

a ruger handgun,

alabama looks like

a fatter oklahoma

if it could get fatter,

illinois doesn't look like

illinois,

it looks like baseboards,

fancy ones.

freedom is:

travel anywhere on the map,

power is:

circle a part of the map

and call it yours,

perspective is:

see the map without borders.
