I need the full text of Paul Muldoon's "Making the Move" and it is nowhere to be found on the intarnets, and whilst it appeared in the first Norton Anthology of Modern poetry, it didn't appear in the second (which I have) and I don't own the relevant Muldoon collection (Why Brownlee Left -- also in collected poems), so if anyone else does, I'd really appreciate your posting it. The part I know from memory goes

I edge along the book-shelf,
Past bad Lord Byron, Raymond Chandler,
Howard Hughes; The Hidden Years,
Past Blaise Pascal, who, bound in hide,
Divined the void to his left side:
Such books as one may think one owns
Unloose themselves like stones
And clatter down into this wider gulf
Between myself and my good wife.

Thanks in advance!
