Others
do Magellans all year round. They vapour-trail the oceans, they trial in-flight
food. Tierra del Fuego escapes their notice. For them the world’s a Janus that
faces and unfaces the sun wherever they cruise at top speed. They could live in
these circumstances forever, were it not for gravity. They watch the ice melt
in their breezer. Others are Pascals for the duration. They stay grounded
quietly in their room with enough preoccupation. This August they read of
volcanoes under Antarctica. That will be a surprise for the Pacific Ocean.
Neither have answers to who first circumnavigated this Janus.
