The Atlas

A living map of humans, gathered by hand.

Four territories. Two doors. Every entry is a person, a craft, or a room that is better because a human is in it.

Human authorship you can put in your mouth.

The person who tastes the whole cellar so your table does not have to guess.

Bitter bean, human patience, and a shine you only get if a person got the temperature exactly right.

The person who knows the boats, the tides, and which fish to talk you out of today.
