I wrote it d

                   o

                      w

                           n.

I did.

                                  Somewhere.

Some words:

that thing,

a kenning,

an i-de-a,

as cle-ar

an aperçu

that you

                                  would have wished

                               you’d written yourself.

I wrote it,

I DID,

but where?
