As a result of what has been called the crisis of representation in qualitative inquiry, researchers have explored a diverse terrain of textual landscapes in a search for alternative forms of (re)presentation of and about their work. While working on a pilot research project that explored choice, control, and power in the lives of persons with developmental disabilities and their allies, the author joined that search as he sought to (re)present parts of the relationships he shared in ways that would reveal "the multiple meanings and the possible meanings that we create together." A poetic, fictional narrative is offered as an example of an alternative (re)presentational form, one map of the many that might be drawn of the multiple cartographies of lived texts and shared experiences.
