Neither Here Nor There

I’m here, in the middle of nowhere, a place missing from the maps and unplaceable in memory. Can I get out of a place that is no place? Where would I go? I can’t go north or south, because neither exists, and east and west keep switching places with each other. Instead I’ll sit here, which is also there, and try to find a way to break this cycle of ever changing meridians. The latitudes and longitudes squiggle and loop and make right angles when they are supposed to be clean and straight. Maybe if I spin in place I will grow so dizzy that everything will come into focus.
