Why must we -
traverse the Darling River,
accept shade from a coolibah tree,
chinwag with Henry at Grenfell?

We could cross a river,
sit under a tree,
meet someone at a place.
But why even that?

Why the compulsion to designate?
For efficiency's sake? aesthetics?
Was there ever a time
we just took things

for what they were,
did stuff,
without
wording?
