When W.H. Auden traveled to Iceland, he stumbled across the word 'foss,' which means 'waterfall.'
However, this word is most commonly used in association with the word 'bicycle' since for some reason, when the natives first encountered the bicycle, they could think of nothing to compare it to sufficiently except for a waterfall.

i think about how we bump and graze past others in one city
i think about how we fall into and out of line in another city
all are ghosts, but (ever)present, moving with guidance, and then past, without apology
