The Hole in the Map - Lorraine Feather[00:00:00]

Slightly below the Equator[00:01:04]

Beneath a scalding sun[00:01:06]

Waits a counterfeit paradise[00:01:09]

And sure oblivion[00:01:11]

Or so they told our hero[00:01:13]

In 1925[00:01:15]

As he went back to the river[00:01:17]

That ate so many alive[00:01:19]

It starts as a trickle in the clouds and snow[00:01:25]

With more than an America still to go[00:01:28]

Steamrollers into the sea[00:01:30]

Wide as New York City[00:01:32]

Passable only in the worst of the heat[00:01:34]

In the winter it rises 40 feet[00:01:36]

The green hell is a heady trap[00:01:38]

So dont fall down[00:01:40]

The hole in the map[00:01:44]

Youd bet such a forest would feed you[00:01:48]

You would lose that bet[00:01:51]

You thought you learned about fortitude[00:01:53]

As a gentleman cadet[00:01:55]

The painful pranks the floggings[00:01:57]

Were bliss compared to this[00:01:59]

As you hack through the lianas[00:02:01]

Where hanging boas hiss[00:02:04]

There are bugs thatll kill you with a single bite[00:02:10]

Turn your cotton britches to threads in a night[00:02:12]

Homicidal gnats no bigger than seeds[00:02:14]

Cynanide-squirting millipedes[00:02:16]

Still you know you love it and you wont be swayed[00:02:18]

Though you never are fully unafraid[00:02:20]

Hits your heart like a thunderclap[00:02:22]

So dont fall down[00:02:24]

The hole in the map[00:02:28]

Back in the comfort of Devon[00:02:33]

You sweeten your tea and sigh[00:02:38]

Free now to sleep till eleven[00:02:44]

And watch the old world go by[00:02:49]

You smile at your civilized heaven[00:02:54]

And say that at last youll stay[00:03:00]

But close by the gates[00:03:05]

The Amazon waits[00:03:08]

To quietly drag you away[00:03:10]

Drag you away[00:03:16]

Back to the river[00:03:22]

Its passable only in the worst of the heat[00:03:25]

In the winter it rises 40 feet[00:03:27]

The green hell is a heady trap[00:03:29]

Dont fall[00:03:31]

There are bugs thatll kill you with a single bite[00:03:50]

Turn your cotton britches to threads in a night[00:03:54]

Homicidal gnats no bigger than seeds[00:03:59]

Cynanide-squirting millipedes[00:04:03]
