You cannot get lost in the bush
Because you are where you are.
Walk in any direction
And you will come out somewhere.
In a film I didn't like at first,
The lead characters are lost
In a swamp searching
For rare orchids; the guide,
The orchid thief, sets up a stick
To find the Sun's shadow,
Musing "It's not about collecting
The thing itself; it's about getting
Immersed in something;
Having it become part of your life;
It's a kind of direction".
Then he knocks over the stick.
There is no shadow to help us.
He and I chose a direction to go,
And it took us away from all that.
