" the water slowly rearranged, so no map
ever stayed exact."

This is from a recent poem in the New Yorker, "Pronghorn" by Debra Nystrom.
I gotta say, I don't appreciate poetry generally, except for Emily Dickinson or Edna St. Vincent Millay, some others, of course, including myself :), but this is a very good line.
