A man pointed to the water,
nodded sagely and said.
“Two oceans meet there
off Cape Leeuwin,
there’s even a sign”.

How foolish.
For water has no boundary
cannot be marked by any man,
has no shape no form no line,
knows not of the ocean
nor sea, river, brook or spring.
cannot be marked by any man,

But man must mark his maps
draw his imaginary lines
control what cannot be tamed,
he is content
to point out to the water
and call its name.
