This is a dictionary: a poem about everything. Divided into six chapters, with definitions grouped by topic: the outside world, the inner self, people you know, people you don't know, the passage of time, and the search for meaning. The definitions are arranged in no particular order, which seems somewhat true in life given the way emotions tend to drift through your mind like the weather. All words in this dictionary are new. Some were rescued from the rubbish heap and redefined, others were invented from whole cloth but most were stitched together from fragments of hundreds of different languages, living and dead.
