across papua new guinea , and the solomons , ever slowing , over easter island - shame , he would have quite liked to visit there - and the vast blue expanse of the south pacific , hitting land again at chile , but onward and beyond , still slowing , across northern argentina , and paraguay , across southern brazil , and he was flung out into the wild waters of the south atlantic ocean , almost stopping , almost stopping , would he reach a new landfall , would the globe continue around for one last moment ?
