putterings, 491-488
to slice through / nine lanes to one,
with output analogous. It may seem
like they are puttering around,
a thicket of flying as well as puttering vehicles
flailing around for anything at all that looks like it might work —
the Modern Cloud,
the pool that had now acquired this high significance.
Perhaps there would be an aëroplane wreck in addition to a shipwreck.
The two are not always observed together
dragged toward something like; dragged toward precision.
