4. Into the cosmos





                       “Don’t know where you are?”
                       Charon said beckoning;
                       “No point in looking for a star—
                       Sufficient is dead reckoning.”





                                        Details

                         1.
                           The Devil’s in the details,
                         Marking up what he retails;
                         So later should your soul fail,
                         He’s sure to get it wholesale.

                         2.
                           Details the Devil edits,
                         Not the summary journal;
                         There he reverses credits
                         And debits—how infernal!
