There’s only one i in Gallatin. And without it Gallatin is bold (gallant).

I think the nine clues are so vague that they can easily represent too many possibilities. Just use your imagination and you can make the nine clues fit just about anywhere in the Rockies. But, I think there’s something else that the letters in the poem and the way the poem is structured (I like how Dejoka termed it as concrete poetry) that builds a precise location. IMO, the poem is building a latitude (northing) and longitude (easting) with the elements: N F , TFT W For example, your F or T will be worth (the value of) the C old C old = Easting coordinate You can see N and W in the poem here: flic.kr/p/2jdEF3F |

Yes. I see what you mean. The words latitude and longitude appear in the last stanza. Maybe somehow it ends with the two coordinates.

Your effort (try) will be worth (value) FORTY the cold. (Numb) brrr Exactly. no. shortcuts. no. specialized knowledge (esotericism) required. simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EsotericismEsoteric- meaning found within the poem. |

And Forrest did say that he felt like an architect when he was building the poem.

He conflates “where” with “there” in the first stanza. They are the same: where he keeps his secret and where you begin and there being where he goes alone, and “from there” tells you what locations are in relation from the singular point.

I had "where" as a singular point. "There" was not a singular point in the first Stanza, but a bounded area. I had there as a singular point in the third stanza. You can't go in a point. I did not have where and there as the same place in Stanza one. |
